  common = FALSE,
  factor = NULL,
  trailing = TRUE,
  units = NULL
)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector, gives numbers to convert to scientific notation
digits	Number of significant figures to display in the converted output
max_cut	Above this number, values will be converted into scientific format (inclusive)
min_cut	Below this number, values will be converted into scientific format (exclusive)
common	Should the formatted numbers share a common exponential factor?
factor	Provides a value for the common exponential factor; if NULL, the most occurring exponent will be used
