How do you express a number in scientific?

Answer 1

To express a number in scientific notation, you write it as the product of a coefficient and a power of ten. The coefficient should be a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, while the exponent indicates how many places to move the decimal point. For example, the number 4,500 can be expressed as (4.5 \times 10^3). If the number is less than 1, the exponent will be negative, such as 0.0045 written as (4.5 \times 10^{-3}).
