Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing US vs UK systems - gallon, pint, and stone differ. Always check source.
  • Rounding too early - keep full factor until final display, then round to 2 decimals.
  • Using 1000 instead of 1024 for digital storage - RAM uses 1024, drive makers use 1000.

Always double-check your source system and use exact factor from BIPM or NIST.
