	double maximumFactor = 1E+24
)

Parameters

totalUnits  Double
Total units to represent textually.
format  String
A numeric string format for scaled totalUnits.
unitName  String
Name of unit display (e.g., you could use "m/h" for meters per hour).
symbolNames  String

Return Value

String
A String representation of the number of units.
