    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_numbers

    Scientific notation was devised to manage the vast range of values encountered in scientific research. For instance, when we write 1.0 × 10 9, we express one billion—a 1 followed by nine zeros: 1,000,000,000. Conversely, the reciprocal, 1.0 × 10 −9, signifies one billionth, equivalent to 0.000

  4. Googol - Wikipedia

    Scientific notation (also known as standard form or exponential notation, for example 1 × 10 9, 1 × 10 10, 1 × 10 11, 1 × 10 12, etc.), or its engineering notation variant (for example 1 × 10 9, 10 × 10 9, 100 × 10 9, 1 × 10 12, etc.), or the computing variant E notation (for example 1e9, 1e10, 1e11, 1e12, etc.). This is the most common ...

  7. 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 when precision is less important. 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
