On 16 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Power of ten. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
Someone must check the numerical values of the examples at least for 10^(-3) and 10^(-6). The first one is off by a 0,00X and the second by 0.0X i think
If it was off, it is now fixed 10^-3=.001, 10^-6=.000 001 108.172.49.119 ( talk) 05:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
If you start adding the long scale names, you should go on with it till the end.

Could someone cite a source for the SI prefixes Xona- and beyond? 2001:470:1F05:D2:CAF7:33FF:FEED:685E ( talk) 19:05, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
I think that the positive and negative powers of ten belong in the same table. Opinions? 108.172.49.119 ( talk) 05:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
I assuming that when it said "Latin name-prefix converted" to use in the formula
It means Bi, Tri, Deca, etc is equal to 2, 3, 10. I didnt realize this until now. Everything is always so terse on Wikipedia and intended for the Maths audience but I think the general audience and ESL speakers should have that clarified.

Perhaps we should stop at those which have an actual Wikipedia article (up to trillion, plus googol) or actual SI prefix? (By "actual", I mean accepted, leaving out X/H, W, and V.) If I don't see any opposition in the next week, I'll take care of it. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:57, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
In the negative powers of 10, it says a googolplexianth is 10 to the power of (10 to the power of negative (10 to the power of 100)). However, this is 10 to the power of a googlplexth, which is wrong. 10 to the power of negative (10 to the power of (10 to the power of 100)) is 10 to the power of a negative googolplex, which is correct: a googolplexianth.

Power of 10 → Power of ten – according to power of two, power of three. -- Χιονάκι ( talk) 23:54, 16 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. asilvering ( talk) 05:09, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Is there anything in sources about negative exponents, it numbers 1/10, 1/100, 1/10000...? I.e., shal the lede speak about any integer exponents? Is there a ref for the def? (I mean, to establish that usually nonnegative exp is meant (that is my impression, but {{ citation needed}} for either way :-). - Altenmann >talk 20:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
