+ * Percentage and related scaling units
+ *
+ * These macros define scaling factors used to convert between ratio and
+ * percentage-based representations with different decimal resolutions.
+ * They are used for precise fractional calculations in engineering, finance,
+ * and measurement applications.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ * 1% = 0.01 = 1 / PERCENT
+ * 0.1% = 0.001 = 1 / PERMILLE
+ * 0.01% = 0.0001 = 1 / PERMYRIAD (1 basis point)
+ * 0.001% = 0.00001 = 1 / PERCENTMILLE
