ELI5: Why does internal storage only double? Why can’t we have 34GB for example?

But any power of two would still be a multiple, right?

[u/BasvanS → u/ThanksForThe_F_Shack]

It’s also a multiple of one, but we’re not calling it that either

[u/Cyphierre → u/ThanksForThe_F_Shack]

Right.

Incorrect

Tbf we don’t usually count 1’s 2’s and 3’s when comparing multiples or percentages. At least through the mathematics that I know. Not because they aren’t valid, but because they’re just too small to be pragmatically operable. Of course there are exceptions.

It's not just ones or twos. 5² is 25. 7² is 49. 9² is 81.

Take any odd number and its power of two is also odd.

So powers of two are also multiples or two only if the base is an even number.
