What Wikipedia says

Paper size standards govern the size of sheets of paper used as writing paper, stationery, cards, and for some printed documents. Most countries adhere to the ISO 216 standard, which includes the widely recognized A series (including A4 paper), defined by a consistent aspect ratio of √2.
