Double value to scientific notation with fixed exponent C#

I am having value double value = 1427799000;

I would like to convert it to scientific notation where the values exponent must always 10^11 (E+11).

I have tried following but it is not working.

Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("00.##E+11", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

Output should be : 0.14 x 10^11 or 0.14E+11

How to convert any double value to scientific notation with fixed exponent ? Here fixed exponent is 11.

How do you write exponential notation in C?

To express a number in exponential notation, write it in the form: c × 10n, where c is a number between 1 and 10 (e.g. 1, 2.5, 6.3, 9.8) and n is an integer (e.g. 1, -3, 6, -2).

How do you double scientific notation?

To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, multiply their coefficients and add their exponents. To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.

double value = 1427799000;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("G2", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

//output: 1.4E+09

The General ("G") Format Specifier

The general ("G") format specifier converts a number to the most compact of either fixed-point or scientific notation, depending on the type of the number and whether a precision specifier is present.

EDIT: About your comment you can't display the scientific notation in your desirable way, it is not defined that way ! The coeficient must be greater or equal to 1 and less to 10.

For number 1.23*10^11 ->Article source

The first number 1.23 is called the coefficient. It must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

The second number is called the base . It must always be 10 in scientific notation. The base number 10 is always written in exponent form. In the number 1.23 x 10^11 the number 11 is referred to as the exponent or power of ten.
