To three significant figure, 483.54 becomes 484.
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1".
Expressed in Scientific Notation, 484 becomes 4.84 x 102.
Scientists have developed a shorter method to express very large numbers. This method is called scientific notation. Scientific Notation is based on powers of the base number 10.The number 123,000,000,000 in scientific notation is written as :
100 = 102
scientific notation
It is using the scientific notation.
Powers are a convenient shortcut for repeated multiplication.

by the powers VESTED in me is correct.
There are three rules that are used when rounding to a desired number of significant digits (figures): 1. All digits that are not zero, are significant 2. In a number that does not have a decimal point, all zeros between two non-zero digits are significant digits 3. In a number that has a decimal point, all zeros after the leftmost non-zero digit are significant Examples: 12345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 12300, or 1.23 x 104 12.345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 12.3, or 1.23 x 101 0.012345 rounded to 3 significant digits: 0.0123, or 1.23 x 10-2 0.012045 rounded to 3 significant digits: 0.0120, or 1.20 x 10-2 In the last example the zero after 2 is significant. That is the reason for keeping it in the result when rewriting it in powers of 10 notation.
Decimal notation is.
Using power-of-notation makes it easy to multiply numbers.
when you work with scientific notation you get to use the powers of ten
100 = 102

Ancient China had significant industrial powers.
Expanded Notation of 80 = (8 x 101) + (0 x 100).
It is using the scientific notation.
