Description: Let the true value of a quantity be x and the measured or inferred value x_0. Then the relative error is defined by deltax=(Deltax)/x=(x_0-x)/x=(x_0)/x-1, where Deltax is the absolute error. The relative error of the quotient or product of a number of quantities is less than or equal to the sum of their relative errors. The percentage error is 100% times the relative error.
