1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.
The largest realized amount of time, based on known scientific data, is the age of the universe, about 13.8 billion years—the time since the Big Bang as measured in the cosmic microwave background rest frame. [2] Those amounts of time together span 60 decimal orders of magnitude.
The duodecimal system, also known as base twelve or dozenal, is a positional numeral system using twelve as its base.In duodecimal, the number twelve is denoted "10", meaning 1 twelve and 0 units; in the decimal system, this number is instead written as "12" meaning 1 ten and 2 units, and the string "10" means ten.
With a number, "billion" can be abbreviated as b, bil [2] or bn. [3] [4] In standard form, it is written as 1 × 10 9. The metric prefix giga indicates 1,000,000,000 times the base unit. Its symbol is G. One billion years may be called an eon in astronomy or geology.
In scientific notation, it is written as 1 × 10 6 or 10 6. [9] Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega (M), when dealing with SI units; for example, 1 megawatt (1 MW) equals 1,000,000 watts.

[39] 2 × 10 12: astro: approximate power generated between the surfaces of Jupiter and its moon Io due to Jupiter's tremendous magnetic field. [42] 3.34 × 10 12: geo: average total (gas, electricity, etc.) power consumption of the US in 2005 [43] 10 13: ...
Scientific notation always has a single nonzero digit to the left of the point: not 60.22 × 10 22, but 6.022 × 10 23. Engineering notation is similar, but with the exponent adjusted to a multiple of three: 602.2 × 10 21. Avoid mixing scientific and engineering notations: A 2.23 × 10 2 m 2 region covered by 234.0 × 10 6 grains of sand.
Although the letters are borrowed from the decimal system and stand for kilo 10 3, mega 10 6 and giga 10 9 they do not have decimal meaning but instead present the power of 2 closest to the corresponding power of 10."
