(178, 227, 1526279)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (178, 227, 1526280)-net in base 4, because

1 times m-reduction [i] would yield (178, 226, 1526280)-net in base 4, but
- the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 4^mÂ â‰¥ 11629 438042 795935 830968 766570 568096 274996 316014 369838 836073 088784 444956 333856 784746 626504 839077 281319 635495 438677 421291 550830 009749 630656 > 4²²⁶ [i]
