It means 9.13877574435632 times 10^10, or 91387757443.5632. The "e10" at the end is scientific notation. I don't know where the 'e' came from, but I would guess it stands for "exponent" and I would bet we use 'e' because there was no way to write a superscript when hand-held calculators were invented. In any case, "e10" means "move the decimal point 10 places to the right." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
