What is engineering notation?

Engineering notation is a variant of scientific notation where the exponent is always a multiple of 3 (…10⁻⁶, 10⁻³, 10⁰, 10³, 10⁶…), aligning with SI prefixes like micro, milli, kilo, mega, etc. For example, 12,345 becomes 12.345 × 10³.

Up to what number can Roman numerals be generated?

Roman numerals are supported for positive integers from 1 to 3,999. Numbers outside this range, decimals, and negative numbers will show 'N/A' in the Roman numeral field.

How does the number-to-words conversion handle large numbers?

The conversion supports values up to the quadrillions (10¹⁵). Very large numbers beyond that range display a note indicating the limit. Decimals are read as 'point' followed by individual digits.

What does the currency formatter do?

The currency section lets you prepend a symbol (e.g. $, €, £) and set a fixed number of decimal places. The number is formatted with locale-style comma separators and rounded to your chosen precision.
