A quarter of A4

What is it in measurements/resolution?

Thanks

A3 Double, A4, A5 half, A6 quater. I guess.

Just in case your google skills are weak - that's 105 * 148mm

Depends how you quarter it. You probably meant the usual way, which is A6 (as above). You could also fold it horizontally, or vertically, or into triangles, none of which are A6.

Then it simply becomes a banner or a column.

But have the same area as A6

But not the same dimensions as A6.

no, wait

A3 isn't double A4, A2 is. A3 is 1.5 times A4

A6 is half.

A8 is 1/4 the size A4. Check here for measurements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216

I was just about to quote the same link to use against you.

You are not correct. Check the numbers again (bear in mind the orientation of the paper).

Edit: I take that back - we're both right - see below.

Pudney · 8 Jul 2009 at 23:34

A2 is double the length and width of A4, and A3 is double the area of A4.

There we go, pedantry over.

Berserker · 8 Jul 2009 at 23:35

Pedantry granted. This is the right answer.

Why is it on the damn photocopiers you have to go 141% to go from A4 to A3?

PardonTheWait · 8 Jul 2009 at 23:39

Each size is two of the previous size put next to each other.

That's the simplest way to put it.

210 x 1.41 = 296.1
297 x 1.41 = 418.77

So, not quite A3, but close enough.

If there was an image on the paper then you would need to reduce both the horizontal and vertical axis by equal amounts otherwise you will distort the image (no rotating the paper 90 degrees won't work)

So trust me the correct answer to the question "What is 1/4 the size of A4?" is A8

The amount of people that come into my work that cant grasp this simple concept is beyond me.

It makes me rage so much! :mad:
