== Add examples of IEC prefix in other units == |
|
|
|
|
|
The article say ''"IEC proposed kibi, mebi, gibi and tebi, with the symbols Ki, Mi, Gi and Ti respectively"'', so, let's add some few examples |
|
|
:* 1024 meters is '''1 KiM''' (not lower "kim") |
|
|
:* 1024² meters is '''1 MiM''' |
|
|
:* ... |
|
|
|

Not popular, not used yet (the need it), but a binary prefix is for it. It is the intention of the binary prefixes. ] (]) 23:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC) |

:Although the prefixes are intended for any unit, it would not be in the way you suggest. The only example I can think of in the wild (other than for bit or byte) is the kibihertz (KiHz). For the metre it would be Kim (for kibimetre) and Mim (for mebimetre). ] (]) 07:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC) |

:: Ok (!), '''KiHz''' is a good example, and we have some appeal in the ISO standards, say explicitally: ''"Another series of frequencies that is in use is based on the definition of the octave as the frequency ratio 1:2. The frequencies of this series are '''calculated as powers of two''' ( base-two series)."''.<br/>PS: IEC 1260 was superseded by IEC-61260-1. |
