Wikipedia definition
2. Zero suppressionZero suppression is the removal of redundant zeroes from a number. This can be done for storage, page or display space constraints or formatting reasons, such as making a letter more legible. Examples: 00049823 → 49823 7.678600000 → 7.6786 0032.3231000 → 32.3231 2.45000×10 → 2.45×10 0.0045×10 → 4.5×10 One must be careful; in physics and related disciplines, trailing zeros are used to indicate the precision of the number, as an error of ±1 in the last place is assumed.
