Order of magnitude is the approximate logarithm of a value relative to a reference value, typically the number 10. It’s used to describe how large or small a number is compared to other values.
The order of magnitude of 5 is 100. Since it’s not greater than 10, the result is zero.
Yes, numbers smaller than 1 (like 0.01) can have a negative order of magnitude. For example, 0.01 has an order of magnitude of -2.
The order of magnitude is typically expressed as a power of 10. For example, 103 represents the thousands place.
