# Large Number Symbols

By default, Soulver uses [SI-inspired](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix) large number symbols when displaying large answers:

```
100,000 + 200,000 | 300k
3 million + 10%   | 3.3M
```

If you don't like this feature you can disable it for all lines (see [Answer Formatting](https://documentation.soulver.app/documentation/formatting/answer-formatting-options)), or on a line-by-line bases in the contextual menu on a line.

{% hint style="success" %}
We think this feature makes working with large numbers easier because you don't need to count zeros to immediately know the magnitude of the number you're working with.
{% endhint %}

### Notation symbols for large numbers

You can also use large number symbols in your math expressions to make working with large numbers easier.

Numbers with currency symbols ($, €, £, etc) also support additional large number notation symbols.

### Scientific Notation

If you'd like to see a number in scientific notation instead of large number notation, use "as sci"
