Engineering notation

Engineering notation is a numerical representation used to express large or small values in a standardized form. It is similar to scientific notation, but it specifically uses powers of ten that are multiples of three. This means that numbers are represented in the form: \[ N = a \times 10^n \] where: - \( a \) is a significant number, typically between 1.0 and 999.999, - \( n \) is a multiple of 3 (e.g.
