Engineering notation Scientific notation



engineering notation (often named eng display mode on scientific calculators) differs normalized scientific notation in exponent n restricted multiples of 3. consequently, absolute value of m in range 1 ≤ |m| < 1000, rather 1 ≤ |m| < 10. though similar in concept, engineering notation called scientific notation. engineering notation allows numbers explicitly match corresponding si prefixes, facilitates reading , oral communication. example, 6992125000000000000♠12.5×10 m can read twelve-point-five nanometers , written 6992125000000000000♠12.5 nm, while scientific notation equivalent 6992125000000000000♠1.25×10 m read out one-point-two-five times ten-to-the-negative-eight meters .
