    I might. Then I can subtract 74 to get 74*14, and subtract 28 to get 72*13.

    I don’t generally do that to ‘weird’ numbers, I usually get closer to multiples of 5, 9, 10, or 11.

    But a computer stores information differently. Perhaps it moves closer to numbers with simpler binary addresses.
