definition

number/digit: MATH

$2^{(2*5/3)} = 8*(2^{(1/3)})$

2^(2*5/3) = 8*(2^(1/3)).

notes

Culturally important. This is the base for the so-called 'binary' prefixes ("kibi-", "mebi-", etc.). By switching to this base, "ki'o"/"kilto" might (in some Lojban dialects) refer to one thousand twenty-four (id est: 'kibi'); if we denote this number by "b" (for "binary" and "base"), then "ki'o"/"kilto" would (in those dialects) refer to MATH

$b^3 = (2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5%2f3)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5/3)</a>)^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/3?bg=1;langidarg=2">3</a> = 2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5)</a> = 1024$

b³ = (2^(2*5/3))³ = 2^(2*5) = 1024 (in decimal notation); likewise for any other standard 'binary' prefix (ones which refer to a numeric coefficient of form MATH

$2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5n)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5n)</a>$

2^(2*5n) for nonzero integer n). In any case, "bi'ei zei kilto" would probably refer to such a value.
