Remarks
This is only using the exponent, There is no limit to the numbers this function can represents, however Javascript/Typescript can only represent numbers up to 1e308, which limits the numbers that this method can represent to 10 ** 10 ** 308 which is really really big.
Example
typescript
orderOfMagnitude(3); // "thousand"
orderOfMagnitude(6); // "million"
orderOfMagnitude(9); // "billion"
orderOfMagnitude(0); // ""
orderOfMagnitude(-3); // null
