Order of magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (572 words)
Thus, an order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.
For example, an order of magnitude estimate for a variable between about 3 billion and 30 billion (such as the human population of the Earth) is 10 billion.
This magnitude was determined by rounding the logarithm to the nearest integer.
Orders of magnitude (469 words)
Thus the order of magnitude of 400 is 2.
The order of magnitude of a number may also be defined as the exponent of the power of 10 when the number is represented using scientific notation.
For example, an accurate order of magnitude estimate for the human population of the Earth in the year 2000 is 10 billion.
