How many blocks do 1234567890 bytes use?

Unless you have some well known powers of 2 you have to calculate anyway.

To be able to convert easily from byte to gibibyte, mebibyte, gibibyte, etc. is a bigger benefit. Just moving the decimal sperator to convert the units is big advantage of the metric system.
