Правила написания чисел

1. Основное различие при написании чисел в английских и русских текстах заключается в использовании точек и запятых. По английским правилам пунктуации точка отделяет десятичные знаки от целых частей, а в русском языке для этих целей используется запятая. В английской пунктуации запятая отделяет разряды целых чисел.

2. Ноль может опускаться при написании десятичных дробей.

3. Большое количество нулей после точки в английских десятичных дробях может заменяться нулем в соответствующей степени (см. таблицу).
