In 18th- and 19th-century Europe, the size of the ream varied widely.

Paper size the sheet of paper is folded in half widthwise, let "c" be the length of the new short side: "c" = . If we take the ratio of the newly folded paper we have: formula_3 Therefore, the aspect ratio is preserved for the new dimensions of the folded paper. Weights are easy to calculate as well: a standard A4 sheet made from 80 g/m paper weighs 5 g (as it is of an A0 page, measuring 1 m), allowing one to easily compute the weight—and associated postage rate—by counting the number of sheets used.
