> bits are indivisible No, they're not. Sure, in more familiar scenarios where you're measuring the size of some amount of data it's an integer, but there's nothing mathematically wrong with having a not-integer number of bits. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_(unit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_(unit) If you do any sort of calculations with information theory you're quite likely to end up with a non-integer number of bits, and there's nothing wrong with that.
