If I do remember very old explanations, it is simple as soon as you know the
basic numbers. A0, the smallest of the set measures 210 by 297 in mm.
(slightly narrower and taller than the commercial 8.5*11 in)
The next size is obtained by taking the height of the "previous" one as the
width and doubling its width to get the height. Thus
A1 = 297 * 420 (=2*210)
A2 = 420 * 594
A3 = 594 * 840
A4 = 840 * 1188 (which is very close to a square meter)
The key numbers to remember then are 210*297

Subject: MI Precise size of std printouts??
Greetings All: Can someone point me to someplace that lists the precise
sizes of all the standard printed pages (ie: A1, A3, A4, etc)?? I know
there are a lot them. I don't have to deal with them enough to keep
straight which is which, so a reference guide would be of great value to me.
...thanks ...Bob
