Well explained however when I teach engineering notation I like to show the relationship of the SI units to number values. For example: Greater than 1 will always be a positive (+) exponent Less than 1 will always be a negative (-) exponent For positive values > 1 1 Kilo = 1K = One Thousand = 1000 = 1 X 10^3 1 Mega = 1M = One Million = 1,000,000 = 1 X 10^6 1 Giga = 1G = One Billion = 1,000,000,000 = 1 X 10^9 etc For negative values < 1 1 milli = 1m = One Thousandth = .001 = 1 X 10^-3 1 micro = 1u = One Millionth = .000001 = 1 X 10^-6 1 nano = 1n = One Billionth = .000000001 = 1 X 10^-9 etc Hope this helps
@DANA SMITH I wouldn't expect anything less coming from an ignorant fool who not only doesn't understand mathematics but a lazy one who refuses to educate himself in order to move himself out of his ignorance. Such village idiots are to be pitied.
I would typically tell students to refrain from having the first number be zero, however; knowing that engineering notation leads to SI prefixes, I can think of some times that this might be handy. Especially if a component is typically read in k or M or something like that. In general, that is bad practice.
Well explained however when I teach engineering notation I like to show the relationship of the SI units to number values.
For example:
Greater than 1 will always be a positive (+) exponent
Less than 1 will always be a negative (-) exponent
For positive values > 1
1 Kilo = 1K = One Thousand = 1000 = 1 X 10^3
1 Mega = 1M = One Million = 1,000,000 = 1 X 10^6
1 Giga = 1G = One Billion = 1,000,000,000 = 1 X 10^9
etc
For negative values < 1
1 milli = 1m = One Thousandth = .001 = 1 X 10^-3
1 micro = 1u = One Millionth = .000001 = 1 X 10^-6
1 nano = 1n = One Billionth = .000000001 = 1 X 10^-9
etc

I know this is super old but it was extremly helpful and well thought out and explained, Thank you sir!
Thank you sir really helpful from Nepal
really well explained , helped out alot
THANK YOU ! really needed this
Thank you so much... really helpful
thank you
i have a question about engineering notation.. can the first digit be zero ? or no ? i mean like this : (0.3x10 to the power of three
