In the Margins video by Guil Hernandez, I'm a little confused on how the margin-bottom is being calculated in the video at 3:54. He said that "we want the margin-bottom to be equivalent to 26px", but I'm confused as to where he's getting that specific number from.

font-size: 3.3125em; /* 53px/16px */
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.1;
margin-bottom: 0.5em; /* 26px */
}
Above is the in video code. font-size is 53/16 = 3.3125em margin-bottom 26/16 is 1.625em but 0.5em is given in the video. Am I on the correct track to assume it is relative to the font size? 26/53 will give us 0.49em.
