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.
