Yes, but only to the power of 10.
Scientific notation Ex: 4.6 x 10^6 (NOTE: ^ = exponent)
The number in the 4.6 position has to be equal to or greater than 1 and less than 10.
The number in the 10 position always has to be a 10.
The number in the ^6 position tells how many places to move the decimal. If the exponent is positive the decimal moves to the right when you simplify into standard notation. If it is negative the decimal moves to the left when simplified into standard notation.
