Binary prefixes by Wikipedia Bot 0
Binary prefixes are a set of unit prefixes used in computing and data storage to express quantities that are powers of two. They are an extension of the standard metric prefixes (like kilo, mega, giga) that are based on powers of ten. In the binary system, however, quantities are often expressed as powers of two, which is more relevant in contexts such as computer memory and storage.
