Reference

This post is a little off topic from what I normally post on this site. But I believe it will be very helpful to some of the techie people online.

Recently I was doing some FTP connection speed test to check my ISP upstream. The results were as follows

28463104 bytes sent in 49 seconds (5.7e+02 Kbytes/s)

what in the heck is 5.7e+02 i said. I have been out of school for some time now and forgot all about power of formulas. so this post my help someone that ran into the same issue as myself.

5.7e is a scientific calculation of 5.7, +02 means add 2 zero and move the decimal point over to the right which will convert 570.0 but you can drop off the last zero which means 570Kb .
You will see this statement when using the FTP client in dos or linux mostly .

Example on google
10 to the power of 4
