if the smaller negative sci notation # being subtracted from the larger
example:
(-1.0x10^0) - (-2.0x10^0) is the same as -1-(-2)= -1 + 2 = 1
To subtract numbers in scientific notation, first ensure that both numbers have the same exponent. If they don't, adjust one or both numbers by converting them to have a common exponent. Once they have the same exponent, subtract the coefficients (the numbers in front) and keep the common exponent. Finally, if necessary, express the result in proper scientific notation.
Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
Write the mantissa as a negative number.
To add or subtract numbers in scientific notation, ensure the exponents are the same; if not, adjust one of the numbers so they match before performing the operation. For multiplication, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. For division, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. Finally, express the result in proper scientific notation, adjusting the coefficient to be between 1 and 10 if necessary.
Very very small numbers as for example 0.00000078 = 7.8*10^-7 in scientific notation

You subtract the exponent of the divisor from that of the dividend.

Scientific notation is a math term you learn in school. It is used to abbreviate large numbers. 0.000000048 written in scientific notation is 48x10 to the negative 8th power.
No. Scientific numbers are constants that appear in science. They may or may not require scientific notation.
When adding or subtracting numbers in scientific notation, ensure that the exponents are the same. If the exponents are not the same, adjust one or both numbers to match. Then, add or subtract the coefficients while keeping the exponent the same. Finally, simplify the result if necessary by converting it back to proper scientific notation.
Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers. For very large exponent is positive; for very small exponent is negative. For example, 1,000,000 is 1 x 10 to the plus 6 exponent; 0.000001 is 1 x 10 to the negative 6 exponent
1 With addition change the scientific notation back to 'normal numbers' and then add accordingly 2 With subtraction change the scientific back to 'normal numbers' and then subtract accordingly 3 With division subtract the exponents and divide the decimals 4 With multiplication add the exponents and multiply the decimals 5 Note that if changes occur below 1 or greater than 9 in the decimal element of the scientific notation then appropriate adjustments must be made
