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.
Scientific notation means that you write a numeral as a number multiplied by 10 to a power. For example, we can write 123 as 1.23 Ã 10Â², 12.3 Ã 10Â¹, or 123 Ã 10â°. Standard scientific notation puts one nonzero digit before the decimal point. Thus, all three of the above numbers are in scientific notation, but only 1.23 Ã 10Â² is in standard notation. The exponent of 10 is the number of places you must shift the decimal point to get the scientific notation.
