The number with the greater coefficient and/or exponent is the greater number. n x 10^E where "n" is the coefficient, and "E" is the exponent.
examples: 1.23 x 10^21 > 1.23 x 10^20
1.22 x 10^21 > 1.21 x 10^21
1.22 x 10^21 > 1.22 x 10^-21 see http://www.fordhamprep.org/gcurran/sho/sho/lessons/lesson25.htm
for reference.
Such numbers would not need to be written in scientific notation but if need be it is: 1.2345*10^2
Yes - you can always convert numbers to scientific notation - whether they're whole numbers, or decimals.
If the exponent is not negative, then a number written in scientific notation is greater than or equal to 1.
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.
0.000729512 in scientific notation written to 3 significant places is 7.30x10-4.

Such numbers usually are not written in scientific notation but just for the exercise it is:- 1.095*102
0.000729512 in scientific notation written to 3 significant places is 7.30x10-4.
Here are the quick examples of the numbers written in scientific notation: 3.4 = 3.4 x 100 34.0 = 3.4 x 10
Usually numbers under 1000 are not written in scientific notation however 226 would be written as 2.26 x 102.
As far as it is possible to tell, neither of the two are in scientific notation.
When they are very large or very small.
Yes, scientific notation is a form of exponential notation. In scientific notation, numbers are expressed as a product of a coefficient and a power of 10. The power of 10 represents the exponent in exponential notation.
Scientific notation is a way that scientists are able to handle either very large numbers or vary small numbers. The scientific notation for the number 70,680,000 would be written as 7.068 x 10^7.
