'''Engineering notation''' or '''engineering form''' is a version of [[scientific notation]] in which the exponent of ten must be divisible by three (i.e., they are powers of a thousand, but written as, for example, 10<sup>6</sup> instead of 1000<sup>2</sup>). As an alternative to writing powers of 10, [[SI prefix]]es can be used,<ref name="Gordon_1969"/> which also usually provide steps of a factor of a thousand.<ref group="nb" name="NB_Cubic"/>
