A whole-number representation of small or large numbers using SI suffixes.
Quantities are representations of small or large numbers using a compact, whole-number notation with SI suffixes. Fractional numbers are represented using milli units, while large numbers can be represented using kilo, mega, or giga units.
For instance, the number 1.5 is represented as 1500m, while the number 1000
can be represented as 1k, and 1000000 as 1M. You can also specify
binary-notation suffixes; the number 2048 can be written as 2Ki.
The accepted decimal (power-of-10) units are m (milli), k (kilo,
intentionally lowercase), M (mega), G (giga), T (terra), P (peta),
E (exa).
The accepted binary (power-of-2) units are Ki (kibi), Mi (mebi), Gi (gibi),
Ti (tebi), Pi (pebi), Ei (exbi).
