Good to know

The calculation runs in your browser. Use consistent units in fields with no explicit unit.

Calculation method

Scientific notation uses one leading digit. Engineering notation uses an exponent divisible by three. Addition, subtraction and multiplication use exact decimal coefficients before rounding to the selected precision.

x=a×10n,1≤∣a∣<10(x≠0)x=a\times10^n,\qquad 1\le |a|<10\quad(x\ne0)

Enter 1568938, 1.568938e6, or 1.568938 × 10^6. They represent the same value. Engineering notation uses a power of ten divisible by three.

The arithmetic mode keeps exact decimal coefficients for addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Non-integer powers and square roots use floating-point approximation.
