QuestionIParsable? IFormattable? ICustomFormatter? IFormatProvider? TryParse! ToString! Pin

I am attempting to write a short program in C# that deals with resistances (in electronics). I would like to be able to parse string values into floating point values. The string can be in the format like 100, 4.7K, 2.2M, or shorthand equivalents like 100, 4K7, 2M2. They should never have more than 3 digits, at least one of which is a whole number part (no more than 2 decimals). Also I would like to be able to display them in similar formats. I've looked into MS documentation, and I'm more confused than ever. When do I need to use (if at all) IFormatProvider, ICustomFormatter, IFormattable, IParsable, etc. I've gone 'round and 'round, and I'm thoroughly at sea. I'm not a new programmer, just a retired one. I wrote code for about 30 years in everything from COBOL to VB.NET (including some C and C++). I don't need someone to write the code for me, but any hints would be much appreciated.
