Editing Binary prefix (section)

=== Early prefixes ===
The original [[metric system]] adopted by France in 1795 included two binary prefixes named ''[[double (metric prefix)|double]]-'' (2×) and ''[[demi (metric prefix)|demi]]-'' ({{sfrac|1|2}}×).<ref name="frev1795" /> However, these were not retained when the [[SI prefix]]es were internationally adopted by the 11th [[Conférence générale des poids et mesures|CGPM conference]] in 1960.
