You put the first number in front of the decimal. Then you count how many times you had to move the decimal over and use that as the exponent for 10. If you moved your decimal to the right, the number is positive. If you moved the number to the left, the number is negative.
Example:
7123 = 7.123 x 103

Is scientific numbers and scientific notation the same?
No. Scientific numbers are constants that appear in science. They may or may not require scientific notation.
What is the disadvantage of using scientific notation?
If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation, you must rewrite one of the numbers to the same power of ten as the other, before performing the addition (or subtraction).
What are 2 ways of writing numbers?
standard notation and scientific notation For example: 126,000 is standard notation. 1.26X105 is scientific notation.
What is the express numbers in 0.00000029384 in scientific notation?
It is: 2.9384*10^-7 in scientific notation
What requires scientific notation?
Scientific notation is required for very large or very small numbers.

How does scientific notation differ from ordinary notations?
Ordinary notation is where the numbers are laid, or written out. Scientific notation is a short handed version with numbers that indicate the amount of zeroes behind the end of the numbers.
Scientific notation for metric units?
Scientific notation is scientific notation - whether it is used for metric units, Imperial units or simply for numbers.
Why is scientific notation useful in economics?
Scientific notation is useful in economics to compute very large or very small numbers.
If the scientific notation stops at centillion why don't the numbers stop too?
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.
Can every decimal be written in scientific notation?
Yes - you can always convert numbers to scientific notation - whether they're whole numbers, or decimals.
What is nonscientific notation?
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.
