To avoid this ambiguity, the number could be represented in scientific notation: 8. 0 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m indicates that the first zero is significant ( hence a margin of 50 m ) while 8. 000 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m indicates that all three zeroes are significant, giving a margin of 0. 5 m. Similarly, it is possible to use a multiple of the basic measurement unit: 8. 0 km is equivalent to 8. 0 × 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > m. In fact, it indicates a margin of 0. 05 km ( 50 m ).
