=={{anchor|Binary}}Binary engineering notation==
Just like decimal engineering notation can be viewed as a base-1000 scientific notation (10<sup>3</sup> = 1000), [[Binary numeral system|binary]] engineering notation relates to a base-1024 scientific notation (2<sup>10</sup> = 1024), where the exponent of two must be divisible by ten. This is closely related to the base-2 [[floating-point]] representation ([[B notation (scientific notation)|B notation]]) commonly used in computer arithmetic, and the usage of IEC [[binary prefix]]es, e.g. 1B10 for 1&nbsp;×&nbsp;2<sup>10</sup>, 1B20 for 1&nbsp;×&nbsp;2<sup>20</sup>, 1B30 for 1&nbsp;×&nbsp;2<sup>30</sup>, 1B40 for 1&nbsp;×&nbsp;2<sup>40</sup> etc.<ref name="Martin_1968"/> Vendeka, vendebi and vendeko are unofficial names.
