How do write scientific notation?

Answer 1

Scientific notation is a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by a power of 10.

For instance, if we had 384, the first step would be to divide it by 10 until we have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, we can divide by 100 to give 3.84

Then we put the power of 10 we divided by next to 3.84 as a multiplication. 100 is 102. Thus, 384 in scientific notation is 3.84 x 102
