How to read exponential form
1.2e+7 = 1.2 x 107 = 12000000 ; 1.2e-5 = 1.2 x 10-5 = 0.000012

Usage
General:
  1. Enter a value to convert at the box 1.
  2. Select desired unit for the value with the button 2.
  3. Select desired unit for the resulting value with the button 5.
    If you already have the desired unit, just click CONVERT button.
  4. You'll get the converted value at the box 4.

To repeat conversion using the same units, enter a value at the box 1 and click CONVERT button.

Once calculated:

  • Changing the source unit automatically converts the left value and result is at the right value box.
  • Changing the distination unit automatically converts the left value and result is at the right value box.

A resulting value is rounded as shown below:

Depending on the range of a resulting value
it is calculated to DIGITS decimal places.
VALUE=resulting value
DIGITS=number of digits in VALUE sitting at the right of a decimal point; In the table, x means the rounded digit, which is not displayed.

Very large or very small values may be shown in exponential form as shown below:

1.28e+19 = 1.28 x (10 to the power 19)
2.56e-23 = 2.56 x (10 to the power -23)
