Binary Magnitude
A binary magnitude represents the size or quantity of data in binary form,
typically measured in bits or bytes.

Example:
Let's say we have a binary number 10101. The binary magnitude of this
number is 5 bits, because it has 5 digits.

Binary Prefixes
Formula of calculating (2^10 (20, 30) vs 10^3 (6, 9))
