Sorry for the terrible question, but how do you define E-3, which is used in the calculators to indicate that the first 3 decimals in the number are not displayed ?

0.000563 = 5.63E-3

I need to write in my thesis something like: "Please, pay attention that the values are shifted by 3 decimals".

thanks
