I am not a native speaker and I must write a scientific document in American English. How would you correctly write "10000" using LaTeX ?
- with a space only (10 000):
$10\,000$
- with a coma and no space in either side (10,000):
$10{,}000$
- with a coma and a space on its right (10, 000) :
$10,000$
I have seen the second a few times, but I do not know if there is a consensus. Thanks for your help!
siunitx
package and then\num{10000}
. That way you can always change it later. Withoutsiunitx
, I would use the first option your suggest:$10\,000$
numprint
package with optionautolanguage
(assuming you use babel withamerican
orUSenglish
class option)
