All ISO 216, ISO 217 and ISO 269 paper sizes (except some envelopes) have the same aspect ratio, √ 2:1, within rounding to millimetres.

Each ISO paper size is one half of the area of the next larger size in the same series ...

A standard 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 by 11 inches (220 mm × 280 mm) sheet of paper has three holes with spacing of 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (110 mm).
