Scientific Notation
The method used is called scientific notation.

Scientific notation makes it easy to write down numbes, and to compare them (if normalized scientific notation is used). It is also fairly easy to multiply and divide them, once you know what you are doing.
In much of the Western world, large numbers are grouped into thousands and powers of thousands - such as millions, billions, trillions etc. TO make large numbers easier to read, they are written in triplets comprising these "super-bases", with the triplets separated by commas. In some European countries, however, the role of the comma and the decimal point are swapped. The system of writing in triplets would not work with the Indic system where thousands are grouped in hundreds (for a lakh), and a hundred lakhs for a crore.
Scientific notation (also called standard form or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.

scientific notation
The method of writing very small or very large numbers using powers of ten is called scientific notation. In this format, a number is expressed as the product of a coefficient (a number between 1 and 10) and a power of ten. For example, the number 5,000 can be written as (5.0 \times 10^3), while 0.0003 can be expressed as (3.0 \times 10^{-4}). This notation simplifies calculations and makes it easier to read and compare numbers with vastly different magnitudes.
That's called scientific notation.

A method of writing very large or very small numbers using powers of 10 is called scientific notation. In this format, a number is expressed as a product of a coefficient (between 1 and 10) and a power of 10. For example, ( 4.5 \times 10^6 ) represents 4,500,000, while ( 3.2 \times 10^{-4} ) represents 0.00032. This notation simplifies calculations and makes it easier to read and compare extreme values.
