Place a decimal point after the first digit and include in the basic number any number not zero, unless there is a number greater than zero following a zero. As in this case, the 2 follows a zero so we include it. Then multiply by 10. To determine "to what power" count the number of digits after the decimal point. In this case there are 2 digits after the decimal (0 and 2). The correct notation is 7.02 x 102 g
200,000 in Scientific Notation = 2 x 105
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
The point of using scientific notation is to compute very large or very small numbers.
0.0000072 in Scientific Notation = 7.2 x 10-6
4000 in scientific notation is 4 x 103
192
It is: 3.5*10-3 kg
Anyone can use scientific notation - including women!
It is 3.0002*10^10 in scientific notation

The base number must be 10.

375,000 in Scientific Notation = 3.75 x 105
4000 in scientific notation is 4 x 103
When using scientific notation, the coefficient must be between greater than or equal to 1, and less than 10. For example, 5.17, 9.63, and 1.49 are all correct coefficients, while 0.12 and 10.87 are not.
