What is the wisdom behind the number of reward degrees for the one who says "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" (Glory be to Allah and with His praise) one hundred times being 1024, and why is the number 1024 used in measuring computer storage capacity instead of 1000?

We have not come across a specific reward for saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" (Glory be to Allah and His praise) a hundred times with the mentioned degrees. However, it is well-known that whoever says it a hundred times a day, their sins will be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea. And whoever says it a hundred times in the morning and a hundred times in the evening, no one will come on the Day of Judgment with anything better than what they came with, except for someone who said the same or more.
