I am curious. I know and understand that 1234567 = 1234.567K = 1.234567M But is the notation such that 1234567 = 1205.657Ki? And how would one write the Mi value to as many places?
And how are fractional parts handled in "binary" notation? The link below did not say. And the example about 1.44 MB diskette was not helpful. I am guessing that this is a kind of unnatural blend (cross-breed) between decimal and "binary prefix" notation.
