[`quantity value, value of a quantity, value`](#quantity-value){ #quantity-value }
|
||||
|
||||
: - Number and reference together expressing magnitude of a [quantity](#quantity).
|
||||
- For example, length of a given rod: `5.34 m` or `534 cm`.
|
||||
- The number can be complex.
|
||||
- A quantity value can be presented in more than one way.
|
||||
- In the case of vector or tensor quantities, each component has a quantity value.
|
||||
- For example, force acting on a given particle, e.g. in Cartesian components
|
||||
$(F_x; F_y; F_z) = (−31.5; 43.2; 17.0)\;\mathsf{N}$.

[`numerical quantity value, numerical value of a quantity, numerical value`](#numerical-value){ #numerical-value }
|
||||
|
||||
: - Number in the expression of a [quantity value](#quantity-value), other than any number serving
|
||||
as the reference
|
||||
- For example, in an amount-of-substance fraction equal to `3 mmol/mol`, the numerical
|
||||
quantity value is `3` and the [unit](#unit) is `mmol/mol`. The [unit](#unit) `mmol/mol`
|
||||
is numerically equal to `0.001`, but this number `0.001` is not part of the numerical
|
||||
quantity value, which remains `3`.
