You will have a negative decimal.
For example, -754 in scientific notation is -7.54*10^2.

In the UK, you do nothing! The two notations are the same.
You simply take the number of digits less one as the power, convert the number to a decimal between 0 and 10 and then note this decimal x 10 to the power calculated previously. e.g. 1,000,000 in scientific notation is 1.0 x 106 123,000,000 in scientific notation is 1.23 x 108
For a negative power of -k, the equivalent decimal is the decimal point followed by (k-1) zeros followed by 1.Thus 10^-5 = 0.00001
To change a number from standard to scientific notation, move the decimal point to create a number between 1 and 10. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point to get the power of 10. If you moved it to the left, the exponent is positive, and if you moved it to the right, the exponent is negative.
Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers in the forma*10b where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive).a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.To convert a number in scientific notation to normal form:· If b is positive, move the decimal point b places to the right in the number a - adding 0s at the end of the number, if required.· If b is negative, move the decimal point b places to the left in the number a - adding 0s immediately after the decimal point, if required.For example:4.56*105 = 456000.4.56*10-5 = 0.0000456
