There are various systems of units where select physical constants are set to 1. A handy comparison chart is on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units?wprov=sfla1

It turns out you can’t harmonize all the physical constants. Some will necessarily end up as some non-round number.

Most of them have speed of light = 1, but some have it as 1/α where α is the fine-structure constant (α = e² / 4πε₀ħc ≈ 0.007297)
