Rounding and precision rules
- Convr calculates first and rounds the displayed result only once, at the final step.
- The default is a maximum of 6 decimal places; trailing zeros are removed.
- Very small values that would appear as zero, and values of 10¹² or more, use scientific notation.
- Display precision is not measurement uncertainty. For scientific, engineering, or regulated work, retain only the digits justified by the source measurement.
Practical context
