Football fields, Olympic size swimming pools, hotdogs, and quarters

All, of course based on how many kerned 1s and 0s (alternatingly) you could fit printed in 12pt Times New Roman font within the thing's length.

Also, you need to alternate rounding your error (i.e. quarter rounds down, but hotdog rounds up, etc)
