Usage
[edit]This template converts a decimal expression into scientific notation.
- e.g.
{{scinote|12345}}produces: 1.2345×104
To round to a given number of significant figures, specify this number as the second unnamed parameter:
- e.g.
{{scinote|12345|3}}produces: 1.23×104
For engineering notation, set |fn=eng:
- e.g.
{{scinote|fn=eng|12345}}produces: 12.345×103
Trailing zeros are preserved:
- e.g.
{{scinote|0.001234500}}produces: 1.234500×10−3
