English term

e

English to Spanish Science Mathematics & Statistics complex numbers
"e" used when saying the number in exponential form. e.g. 1.77e+009 is pronounced as: "one point seven seven e nine"
How do you say it in Spanish?

Thanks a lot in advance

Yes, it is written correctly, but I need to say this expression aloud and in Spanish. And I do not know what should I say instead of "e".

"por diez a la..."

Creo que NO se refiere la base del logaritmo neperiano e, sino a la notación científica de un número, lo que en español se escribe

1.77 x 10 9 (el 9 debería ser superíndice pero ProZ no lo permite)

Se lee como 1.77 por diez a la nueve

agree Narcis Lozano Drago : De acuerdo. No es el neperiano, es notación cientifica o exponencial, y la E sustituye a 10. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notación_científica

e

e is a fixed real number.
In your expression, the number is in an exponential form.
It is correct.
