Decimal notation is the most common form, using digits 0–9 to express integers and fractions. Local conventions
Scientific and engineering notation expresses numbers as a mantissa and an exponent, such as 3.14e2 for 314,

Beyond decimal, numbers can be represented in bases such as binary, octal, and hexadecimal, common in programming
Numerals in other scripts—such as Roman numerals, or digits used in Arabic-Indic, Devanagari, or other writing
In practice, Zahlformaten affect data entry, parsing, user interface design, and interoperability. Thorough handling of formats
