what is the letter m in roman numerals
M The Roman numeral â…¯ represents the number 1000, though it was not used in Roman times. There is, however, scant evidence that the letter was later introduced in the early centuries by the Romans. [3]
Scientific notation Engineering notation (often named "ENG" display mode on scientific calculators) differs from normalized scientific notation in that the exponent n is restricted to multiples of 3. Consequently, the absolute value of m is in the range 1 ≤ |m| < 1000, rather than 1 ≤ |m| < 10. Though similar in concept, engineering notation is rarely called scientific notation. Engineering notation allows the numbers to explicitly match their corresponding SI prefixes, which facilitates reading and oral communication. For example, 6992125000000000000♠12.5×10−9 m can be read as "twelve-point-five nanometers" and written as 6992125000000000000♠12.5 nm, while its scientific notation equivalent 6992125000000000000♠1.25×10−8 m would likely be read out as "one-point-two-five times ten-to-the-negative-eight meters".
