      But not nearly as interesting seeing the big number. Also, who is that supposed to be clear to? The raised numbers are so small I can’t even read them on my phone.

        It’s your phone! You can change the font size or your lemmy client if it renders these numbers incorrectly.

      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
