calculator
Sorry for the terrible question, but how do you define E-3, which is used in the calculators to indicate that the first 3 decimals in the number are not displayed ?
0.000563 = 5.63E-3
I need to write in my thesis something like: "Please, pay attention that the values are shifted by 3 decimals".
thanks
Millennia is a short and cozy term here. We're talking about a something like a googol googol googol ... googol googols times the age of the universe. (In other words, your program can't count that long on any real hardware before the heat death of the universe cuts off the power; I don't think the universe would have room for the stupendous amounts of entropy that would be produced by even a single clock running for that many steps).
The best you can hope for is to express the number in exponential notation -- that is, take its logarithm: $$\log(65534^{65534}) = 65534\times \log(65534) = 315{,}642.327$$ So the answer is about $10^{315{,}633}$ seconds.
If you want to stay away from scientific notation, do you really want to write a number with three hundred thousand digits in your manual?
Answer:One direct formula may not be possible but I have derived a formula from cashflows and you can see below.

It depends on what you're writing about. It's probably easier to just write $5.63\times10^{-3}$ in the place of $0.00563$ in a math text. If you really don't want to write the $\times10^{-3}$ (for example, in a table), just say "please note that the values in this table represent the error(or whatever they represent) divided by $1000$."
If you're writing about something physical that has units (for example, distance) write: "Measurement is in millimeters" or "Measured in $\text{mm}$."
