A4 paper has those weird dimensions (not a round number in either metric or imperial) because of its aspect ratio of √2, which allows cutting it in half and still retaining the same ratio.
A0 paper is defined to an area of 1 m², and each subsequent paper number (A1, A2, ...) is the previous paper halved. Therefore A4 paper has an area of 1/16 m², and a √2 ratio, which in no way produces round numbers for the two dimensions!

- ^ None to speak of.Continuity
- https://modus.medium…imbecile
- The logic in the US is that the sizes are easily meandered and consistent. We understand nobody cuts them in half to make other sizes.monospaced
- But the same “logic “ applies to letter size and 11x17.monospaced
- Paper used to be made by hand, molds it was made from measured 44" x 17" inches. This was used to create (8) 8.5" x-11" pieces, of what became known as letter.imbecile

- At 2:3 ratio of many cameras, a photo never really fits and A4 page nicely. But on the other hand, I only have to cut 1.8cm off to make it fit, so who cares.SimonFFM

- Fun branding fact: the reason for the paper wrap is because when they started shipping the good stuff to the US, they were shattering bottles..garbage
- ..on the transatlantic haul. Some genius in the 1800s was like "ok, wrap them in paper." That's why the good stuff still has that distinctive wrap.garbage
