Format of Answer
With any Calculator, you can customize the way the answer to the calculation appears. Through settings, you can decide whether you want the answer to always be in Scientific Notation or not, along with how to round the answer. Rounding can be based on either the number of decimal places you want the answer to have, or the number of significant figures you desire. If you wish to have the answer in non-SI units, than bring the number to the Unit Converter to get a value with your desired units.
