    Not really. Most people aren’t familiar with scientific or engineering notation. Writing £1,000,000, one million pounds or £1Million is a lot clearer than writing £1×10^6.

    My cars odometer says 91,584, not 91.584×10^3

      Your examples are with small enough numbers that indeed it can also be written out. Now if you please, write out 7.45•10^16
