Scientific notation (also referred to as scientific form, standard form or standard index form) is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations.
A number written in scientific notation is written as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. For example, to write 127,680,000 in scientific notation, change the number to a number between 1 and 10 by moving the decimal point 8 places to the left.Then multiply by 10 raised to the power of the number of places you had to move the decimal point--that is, 108: number written in scientific notation is written as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. For example, to write 127,680,000 in scientific notation, change the number to a number between 1 and 10 by moving the decimal point 8 places to the left.
