Here's something I never learned. How do you say scientific notation? For example a number like:

3.037e-08 which means 0.0000000037

Here's an example of how it's said in English.

In Japanese we say like this
10 X 10 ....!0 kakeru 10......or also 10 NO NIJYO １０の２乗
10 X 10 X 10......10 KAKERU 10 KAKERU 10.......or also 10 NO SANJYO １０の３乗
10X10X10X10...10 KAKERU 10 KAKERU 10 KAKERU 10.., or also 10 NO YONJYO １０の４乗
and so on....

0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001324
that's why we need scientific notation!

As you would already get, 3.037×10-8​ is read さん てん れいさんなな かける じゅう の マイナス はち じょう.

Incidentally, transliterations of English terms are also used especially for length, weight or like that.
e.g.
2.34×10-8 ​m = 23.4×10-9​ m = 23.4nm(nanometer): にじゅうさん てん よん ナノメートル
5.6×10-13​ g = 0.56×10-12​ g = 0.56pg(picogram): れい てん ごーろく ピコグラム

For me it´s really too difficult and complicated just to imagine these incredible numbers. Thank you very much for an interesting information. There are people so intelligent like you in this world!!!
