==== notes ====

Culturally important. This is the base for the so-called 'binary' prefixes ("kibi-", "mebi-", etc.). By switching to this base, "[[ki'o|ki'o]]"/"[[kilto|kilto]]" might (in some Lojban dialects) refer to one thousand twenty-four (id est: 'kibi'); if we denote this number by "<span class="MATH"><i>b</i></span>" (for "binary" and "base"), then "ki'o"/"kilto" would (in those dialects) refer to  MATH
 $b^3 = (2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5%2f3)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5/3)</a>)^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/3?bg=1;langidarg=2">3</a> = 2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5)</a> = 1024$
 
<span class="MATH"><i>b</i><sup>3</sup> = (2<sup>(2*5/3)</sup>)<sup>3</sup> = 2<sup>(2*5)</sup> = 1024</span> (in decimal notation); likewise for any other standard 'binary' prefix (ones which refer to a numeric coefficient of form  MATH
 $2^<a class="undefined" href="../dict/(2*5n)?bg=1;langidarg=2">(2*5n)</a>$
 
<span class="MATH">2<sup>(2*5n)</sup></span> for nonzero integer <span class="MATH"><i>n</i></span>). In any case, "[[bi'ei zei kilto|bi'ei zei kilto]]" would probably refer to such a value.
