Add examples of IEC prefix in other units

The article say "IEC proposed kibi, mebi, gibi and tebi, with the symbols Ki, Mi, Gi and Ti respectively", so, let's add some few examples

  • 1024 meters is 1 KiM (not lower "kim")
  • 1024² meters is 1 MiM
  • ...

Not popular, not used yet (the geographical grids of ISO 19170-1:2021 need it), but a binary prefix is for it. It is the intention of the binary prefixes. Krauss (talk) 23:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
