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.
In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form. m Ã 10 n (m times ten raised to the power of n), where the exponent n is an integer, and the coefficient m is any real number, called the significand or mantissa. However, the term mantissa may cause confusion because it is the name of the fractional part of the common logarithm.
