Basic Examples  (2)

The default multiplier is ×:

Wolfram Language code: NumberForm[12345678.9, 10]

Use an asterisk instead:

Wolfram Language code: NumberForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> "*"]

Scope  (2)

Use NumberMultiplier with PaddedForm:

Wolfram Language code: PaddedForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> "*"]

EngineeringForm:

Wolfram Language code: EngineeringForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> "*"]

ScientificForm:

Wolfram Language code: ScientificForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> "*"]

AccountingForm:

Wolfram Language code: AccountingForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> "*", ExponentFunction -> (#&)]

Use any string as a multiplier:

Wolfram Language code: NumberForm[12345678.9, 10, NumberMultiplier -> " my multiplier "]
