I've often wondered what "an order of magnitude" meant exactly. The author defines it as 100% (larger, in this case). Is that correct?

- thesnider 11y agoIt's change by 10X, typically.
- hackaflocka 11y agoYou're right, that's how he got 10,000% -- 10x and then another 10x . I thought he had done 100% times 100%... Thanks for the reply.
- dorfsmay 11y agoOne order of magnitude is a 10 factor, it can be smaller or large. So, 3 order of magnitude smaller is something 1000 times smaller. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude
