Scientific Notation is a method used by mathematicians, or others, to take a large number and report it in a more convenient length. Any number can be changed into scientific notation by using a base 10 multiplication and taking the number to its first whole integer. All scientific notation must be writen as:

a X 10b

Where a is the rounded integer and b is the exponential power of 10 needed to bring a to a single digit.

Examples:

11 = 1.1 X 101 (or 10)

111 = 1.1 X 102

1111 = 1.1 X 103

This may be done ad infinitum. It may also be done with numbers smaller than one...

.011 = 1.1 X 10-2

.0011 = 1.1 X 10-3

.00011 = 1.1 X 10-4

Some calculators also use scientific notation using an "e" where neccessary. If this is true then the values are described as:

1.54 X 1012 = 1.54E12 or 1.54E12

How do you translate 0.036 into scientific notation?

To convert a decimal to scientific notation, you first need to divide the number by a power of ten such that the result has units as the greatest place value. In this case, you would divide by 0.01 to get 3.6 The next step is to take the amount you divided by (0.01) and express it as a power of 10 (10-2) Thus, 0.036 in scientific notation is 3.6x10-2
