  2. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    While base ten is normally used for scientific notation, powers of other bases can be used too, [25] base 2 being the next most commonly used one. For example, in base-2 scientific notation, the number 1001 b in binary (=9 d) is written as 1.001 b × 2 d 11 b or 1.001 b × 10 b 11 b using binary numbers (or shorter 1.001 × 10 11 if binary ...

  4. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  5. Power of 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_10

    Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers of very large and very small sizes compactly. A number written in scientific notation has a significand (sometime called a mantissa) multiplied by a power of ten. Sometimes written in the form: m × 10 n. Or more compactly as: 10 n. This is generally used to denote powers of 10.

    Scientific notation (for example 1 × 10 10), or its engineering notation variant (for example 10 × 10 9), or the computing variant E notation (for example 1e10). This is the most common practice among scientists and mathematicians. SI metric prefixes. For example, giga for 10 9 and tera for 10 12 can give gigawatt (10 9 W) and terawatt (10 12 ...
