If done correctly, the coefficient of the scientific notation has the same number of significant figures as the whole number.

Hi! This number in scientific notation is a certain number/expression 😁
If it is written in scientific notation it will have x10 to a certain power if it is standard it won't
Scientific notation: 3.3*103 And I'm not certain, but I think it is also 3.3*103 in engineering notation
Because it uses fewer digits as for example 9,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 9.0*10^15
In scientific notation, you just want to make your number to be between 1 and 10, then multiplied by 10 to a power. If we take this number, we need to move the decimal 3 places to the right. Since we're moving it to the right, our power will be positive. So our answer is 1.594 x 10^3. Scientific notation is really nice when we are calculating in upper science class, and need a certain number of significant digits.
Three in 150.With trailing zeros it can be ambiguous.One thing is certain: if you use scientific notation there is nor doubt.In scientific notation one hundred fifty can be written as1.5 * 102 in which case there are two significant figuresor it can be written as1.50 * 102 (or 15.0*101) with three significant figures [However there also is one trailing zerohere!]or as1.500 * 102 (four significant figures) this also could be expressed as 150.0 - no doubt there that there are four significant figures for zeros to the right of the decimal point!
Significant figures is a way of trying to convey how accurately something is being measured. A very accurate scale may measure .001 grams, a bathroom scale may be only accurate to within 2 lbs. Exponential notation has nothing to do with measurement. It is just a choice on how to write a number, usually for some mathematical application. 243 = 35 this is exponential 'notation'. Scientific notation is a certain type of exponential notation in which the base must be 10. 243 = 2.43 x 102 that is scientific notation.
Scientific notation allows for representing extremely large or small numbers using a simpler format. The system itself does not set a limit on the numbers that can be written in scientific notation. However, beyond a certain point, numbers become so large that they are not practical or meaningful in most scientific or everyday contexts, which is why the representation is typically stopped at centillion.
Some electronic values are very large or very small, so it is more convenient to use scientific notation than to write out lots of zeros.
