Because of several measurements based on twelve, many Western languages have words for base-twelve units such as dozen, gross and great gross, which allow for rudimentary duodecimal nomenclature, such as " two gross six dozen " for 360.

Because their units cancel, ratios of like-dimensioned physical constants do not depend on unit systems in this way, so they are pure dimensionless numbers whose values a future theory of physics could conceivably hope to predict.

Because legions were not standing units until the Marian reforms ( c. 107 BC ), and were instead created, used, and disbanded again, several hundred legions were named and numbered throughout Roman history.

Because the units of throughput are the reciprocal of the unit for propagation delay, which is ' seconds per message ' or ' seconds per output ', throughput can be used to relate a computational device performing a dedicated function such as an ASIC or embedded processor to a communications channel, simplifying system analysis.

Because of their size and durability, flanged units can be used to bring shafts into alignment before they are joined together.

Because unrelated people almost certainly have different numbers of repeat units, STRs can be used to discriminate between unrelated individuals.

Because the " infectious dose " for some pathogens can be very small ( 10-100 viable units, or even less for some viruses ), and infection can result from direct transfer from surfaces via hands or food to the mouth, nasal mucosa or the eye, ' hygienic cleaning ' procedures should be sufficient to eliminate pathogens from critical surfaces.

Because of the high capacity, many of the units operate continuously, as opposed to processing in batches, at steady state or nearly steady state for months to years.

Because of the demonstration of courage and sense of duty displayed by the volunteers of the Italian SS, they are designated as units of the Waffen-SS, with all the duties and rights that that entailed.

Because regular armed forces units do not have the flexibility and independence of small covert cells, many believe that the concept of a powerful occupying force actually creates a disadvantage.
