Precision being variable, this is a format for accountants, not engineers. So, below 0.0001, we should simply see 0.0000.

Or you can specify a transition to engineering format rather than scientific and you get: 1.4142 0.14142 0.014142 0.001414·2 0.000141·42 14.142×10⁻⁶ In case you're not familiar with this format, here's what you get when you multiply: 1.4142 14.142 141.42 1,414.2 14,142. 141,420. 1,414,200. 14,142,000. 141.42×10⁶ 1.4142×10⁹ … |
