    However, the capacity was also quoted "1.2 MB", [41] which was a hybrid decimal and binary notation, since the "M" meant 1000 × 1024. The precise value was 1.2288 MB (decimal) or 1.171 875 MiB (binary). The 5.25-inch Apple Disk II had 256 bytes per sector, 13 sectors per track, 35 tracks per side, or a total capacity of 116 480 bytes.

    The first of three programs written for the machine found the highest proper divisor of 2 18 (262,144), a calculation that was known would take a long time to run—and so prove the computer's reliability—by testing every integer from 2 18 − 1 downwards, as division was implemented by repeated subtraction of the divisor.

    According to another study, when measured in a different solution, the DNA chain measured 22–26 Å (2.22.6 nm) wide, and one nucleotide unit measured 3.3 Å (0.33 nm) long. [10] The buoyant density of most DNA is 1.7g/cm 3. [11] DNA does not usually exist as a single strand, but instead as a pair of strands that are held tightly together.
