Scientific Notation
The method used is called scientific notation.
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.

Smallest Fraction: 3/(4*5)Largest Fraction: (4*5)/3Smallest Mixed Fraction: 3 4/5Largest Mixed Fraction: 5 4/3 = 6 1/3Smallest Fraction (Digits): 3/54Largest Fraction (Digits): 5/34Small numbers divided by large numbers yield small numbers; large numbers divided by small numbers yield large numbers.

None, except for fractions other than 1/12ths. However, large numbers soon become extremely difficult to notate, even with shorthand: CↂƆCCↂƆƆↂCↂƆↀↂCↀXCIX is 999,999 while CCↂƆƆ is 1 million.
Scientific notation is useful for writing moderately large and small numbers. But, even that will not cope with the seriously big numbers.
It's a shorthand way to express large numbers or even very small numbers.Example:44800000000 = 4.48e+10

To express extremely large numbers or extremely small numbers in an easier way. Sort of like saying cuz instead of because.

Large Number & Small Number are Difficult to Write and Read,So a Method For Writing and Reading them More Easily This Calle Scientific notation ,To Computation make easy! :)))
Scientific notation
One use is shorthand for large numbers, eg the mass of the earth is 5960000000000000000000000 kg , which can be expressed as: 5.96 * 1024 kg there are also rules for multiplying / dividing exponential numbers
Most of the time, chemists deal with extremely large or extremely small numbers. They use scientific notation to conveniently write these numbers in decimal form.
