Abstract: The measurement of a natural object is, in some sense, its absolute measurement divided by the unit in question. It was this idea which led us to model this problem by considering the quotients of pairs of random numbers in the interval (0, 1). The approach, in contrast to Benford's logarithmic form, leads to rational expressions in d.
