"clock rate 1300000." What is the bandwidth, and why can't you set it to something closer to the default BW on fast serial interfaces?

The default bandwidth on the serial interfaces on 2500s is 1.544 mbps.
However, when you set the clock rate, the closest value is 1300000.
Could someone please explain the discrepancy? Clock rate 64000 gives
you bandwidth of 64000 mbps. If I use clock rate 1300000, what should
I put down as the bandwidth of the interface? 1300?

The IOS 12.1 docs on the clock rate command does not explain this.
