Hello,
In your recent edit of the [[Byte]] article, you wrote that the percentages of the difference between the binary and SI prefixes are incorrect. Could you please explain to me how you obtained such a high percentage? I calculated these numbers with the formula (2^80)/(10^24) for yobibyte, and so on.

: The percentage increase from 1000 to 1024 is 2.4% (or a decrease of 2.3%).  You are forgetting to drop the 1 and move the decimal two places to the right.  See [http://www.iec.ch/zone/si/si_bytes.htm] --[[User:Phillip Stewart|Phillip Stewart]] 00:32, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

Table of prefixes

Hello,

In your recent edit of the Byte article, you wrote that the percentages of the difference between the binary and SI prefixes are incorrect. Could you please explain to me how you obtained such a high percentage? I calculated these numbers with the formula (2^80)/(10^24) for yobibyte, and so on.

The percentage increase from 1000 to 1024 is 2.4% (or a decrease of 2.3%). You are forgetting to drop the 1 and move the decimal two places to the right. See [1] --Phillip Stewart 00:32, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
