they express the numbers using scientific notation
in scientific notation, as in 4,000,000 = 4 x 10 to the 6th
scientific notation is any number in between 1 and 10
Very small or very large numbers.
There is no such actual number. It is a created word for a very large number. As with "googolplex" (10googol), large numbers are only useful for comparing to other very large numbers.
That system makes it much easier to write the numbers, remember them, tell them to others, and notice mistakes when they're written wrong.
It separates the numbers
Standard form is a way of writing down very large or very small numbers. It is not too useful for 52 which is 25. But we would write it as 2.5x10. That is the standard form.
Scientists use scientific notation to compute very large or very small numbers.
This provides a convenient and compact way to write very large or very small numbers.
Scientific notation produces convenient numbers when working with very small or very large quantities.
Very small or very large numbers.
Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers so i guess non scientific notation is the opposite.
This is scientific (or exponential) notation.
To save writing out very large numbers or very small numbers that have lots and lots of noughts.
Same as any scientists would: to facilitate handling very large numbers.
Scientific notation makes very large or very small numbers easier to work with.
Mathematicians, engineers, teachers, other people who deal with very large or very small numbers.
It was to enable people to write very large and very small numbers in a concise way.
Standard form is a way to write really large or very small numbers.
