Though squaring each and checking works equally as well, here&#039;s another way to figure it out:      0.016    =            1000              1000            0.016    =            16              1000        =      4          1000        ≈      4          1024        =      4                  2                  10                      =      4          2              5              =      4    32    =      1    8    =  0.125

Just square:      0.4    2    =  0.16      0.04    2    =  0.0016      0.2    2    =  0.04      0.02    2    =  0.0004      0.13    2    =  0.0169Can you choose?
