Those are European business paper sizes, like the US letter, legal, and tabloid sizes. I'm not familiar with their use as sizes for photographic prints.

All measurements in inches:
A3 = 11.694 x 16.542
A4 = 8.268 x 11.693
A5 = 5.883 x 8.264
Starting with A5, each sheet is double the size ...
There is also a "B" series of sizes, but I'm too lazy to go look them up right now ...

You may want to try this link, or if you wish, simply google A5 paper size and that will lead you to a varitely of links.

| Yes, we use A and B size paper in Australia - we used to have foolscap, quarto and other "pre-decimal" sizes. We use A and B size paper in Japan, too. |

To my knowledge, the whole world, with the exception of the USA and Canada, utilize these sizes.
