it clearly says 98.32 KB :3
Actually, it says 98.32kb. That's a big difference.

What program is this? And why does it not show kilobytes for either side?
It's Termux, a terminal emulator for Android. I typed the top part, which starts qalculate (basically Wolfram|Alpha with units) and gives it the expression
