Is there a way to write large values where the last digits of the value are the ones that separate them but only use 6 digits, plus the exponent?
I am designing a graph for scientists where the values range is 1.054516E18 +-3. The maximum space in the graph is 6 digits plus the exponent. If I write them out in plain numbers they are:
10 545 159 999 999 999 997
10 545 159 999 999 999 998
10 545 159 999 999 999 999
10 545 160 000 000 000 000
10 545 160 000 000 000 001
10 545 160 000 000 000 002
10 545 160 000 000 000 003
But since there is only room for 6 digits in the graph this will not work. If I write them out in scientific e notation they come out like this:
1.0545160000000000089 e19
1.0545160000000000089 e19
1.0545160000000000089 e19
1.054516 e19
1.0545160000000000089 e19
1.0545160000000000089 e19
1.0545160000000000089 e19
But the "interesting" part of the numbers doesn't show. AND they also use too many digits.
Is there a way to write these numbers so the discerning parts of the numbers show with only 6 digits plus exponent? It doesn't have to be scientifically correct. What matters is that the graph is readable.
