This project explores extending the binary SI prefixes (kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, etc.) which are typically used for values ≥ 1, to also include fractional prefixes for values < 1. This creates a complete binary prefix system analogous to the decimal SI prefixes.

Standard (≥ 1):

• kibi (Ki) = 2^10 = 1,024
• mebi (Mi) = 2^20 = 1,048,576
• gibi (Gi) = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824
• tebi (Ti) = 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776

Extended (< 1):

• milli-binary (mi) = 2^-10 ≈ 0.0009765625
• micro-binary (μi) = 2^-20 ≈ 0.00000095367
• nano-binary (ni) = 2^-30 ≈ 0.00000000093132
• pico-binary (pi) = 2^-40 ≈ 0.00000000000090949

• Interactive Calculator: Enter any power of 2 to see the corresponding prefix and value
• Comprehensive Tables: Compare standard and extended binary prefixes
• Practical Applications: Examples of where fractional binary prefixes might be useful
• Decimal Comparison: See how binary prefixes relate to decimal SI prefixes
• Responsive Design: Works on desktop and mobile devices
• API Endpoint: /api/calculate/{power} for programmatic access

Visit the web page to explore the concept of extended binary prefixes. Use the interactive calculator to experiment with different powers of 2 and see how they would be represented in this extended system.
