1x10 to the 7th power = one times ten to the seventh = 1x107 = 10000000.0
All this "one times ten to the" junk starts at the "one's place" so that 1x107
is a one followed by seven zeros and then the decimal point.
1x103 = 1000 one followed by three zeros, decimal place is understood.
1x106 = 1,000,000.0
1x10-3 = 0.001 this is the same except the one is preceded by three zeros to the one's place0.0003 in Scientific Notation = 3 x 10-4

If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation, you must rewrite one of the numbers to the same power of ten as the other, before performing the addition (or subtraction).

0.08364 = 8.364 × 10-2
6.667 x 10^3 = 6,667
It is essential to write very small and very large numbers
