Yes, but only to the power of 10.
Scientific notation Ex: 4.6 x 10^6 (NOTE: ^ = exponent)
The number in the 4.6 position has to be equal to or greater than 1 and less than 10.
The number in the 10 position always has to be a 10.
The number in the ^6 position tells how many places to move the decimal. If the exponent is positive the decimal moves to the right when you simplify into standard notation. If it is negative the decimal moves to the left when simplified into standard notation.
When adding or subtracting numbers in scientific notation, the exponents must be the same to ensure that the terms are expressed in the same scale. Scientific notation represents numbers as a product of a coefficient and a power of ten, so if the exponents differ, the values are on different scales, making direct addition or subtraction impossible. By adjusting the numbers to have the same exponent, you can accurately combine the coefficients before simplifying the result back into proper scientific notation.
Numbers expressed using exponents are called powers. When writing a number expressed as an exponent, the number is called the base.
Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
Same.
Large numbers like this are expressed in scientific notation.
Only if the numbers to be converted into scientific notation are the same otherwise the exponents can vary according to the size the numbers.

yes its really important
No, only numbers can be.

Same.
Large numbers like this are expressed in scientific notation.
You subtract the exponent of the divisor from that of the dividend.
Such small numbers aren't usually expressed in scientific notation but it is: 1.84*101
All numbers can be expressed using exponents.
Scientific notation is a convenient method to express very large or very small numbers.
Very very small numbers as for example 0.00000078 = 7.8*10^-7 in scientific notation
