    A0 is also exactly 1 square meter which makes it easy to figure out the number of pages of e.g. A4 from weight if you know what kind of gramm per square meter paper you are dealing with (which is why that is often part of the packaging).

    The aspect ratio of the two sides is the square root of 2 since you otherwise couldn’t divide it again and again and get sizes with the same aspect ratio.

      Thanks, that’s very interesting. I always thought that was a common thing, but very clever. 👍 😎
