It makes senses even for this list!
Numbers like 12 and 60 are chosen for their high number of dividers.
That is a mathematical reason. Think of in ancient time all was divided
in equal integers units. Even the Maya knew it!
This is connected to numbers of low n-divide with the ultimate of

Hi Jim:
But what you show violates the SI rules, even though it's the correct
calculation.
Have Fun,

I don't understand what is wrong with 'Hz'.
As Time in seconds is a SI unit, Frequency is the reciprocal value of
time, f=1/T, Frequency is not a SI base unit but a SI coherent derived
unit (in the list with special names and symbols as force, pressure,
charge, power, resistance etc.). [11th CGPM,
Hi Arnold:
The web site contains a lot of unit related computations, see:
http://futureboy.us/fsp/frink.fsp
and it's author has spent quite a lot of time in understanding units.
In school when I learned this it was called dimensional analysis.
Here is the section dealing with Hertz:

It is indeed. I have no idea where it originated. From the typography,
I'm going to guess it was done in the 60s, but I got a copy of a copy
from a field engineer, etc.
BTW, if anyone is confused,

For me it looks like this guy hates SI system. There are many out there.
How cares?
The problems arise if systems get mixed up and at least one end of the
communication link thinks the other does the same.

And you are being redundant, by saying SI system which is like
saying International System System. Also see PIN number :-)

I don't think that SI is the last system we see and that is for the
decimal system too.

That's historical. All of the original prefixes (from 1795) were lower
case. When new ones extended the magnitudes (in 1960), capitalization
was necessary to distinguish M(ega) from m(icro). They
