235,000,000,000
= 2.35 X 1011
==========
You can count decimal places from the right to the left until you leave one whole number and the count becomes the exponent. Or you can count the groups of numbers ( ones, hundreds, thousands and the like ) and multiply by three. As above there are four groups of numbers multiplied by 3 = 12, but since you must stop to the right of the first whole number you subtract one to get your exponent.
Write the mantissa as a negative number.
Scientific notation lets us express a large or a small number without having to write a lot of zeros before or after it. Try writing out 3 x 10^9000 without scientific notation.
It is: 3.56*10^8 km in scientific notation
When numbers are very big or very small. For example, it's quicker to write 109 instead of 1,000,000,000
Such small numbers aren't usually expressed in scientific notation but it is: 1.84*101

When numbers are very big or very small. For example, it's quicker to write 109 instead of 1,000,000,000
Such numbers usually are not written in scientific notation but just for the exercise it is:- 1.095*102
Such small numbers aren't usually expressed in scientific notation but it is: 1.84*101
Scientific notation is used to express numbers that are very large or very small in a compact and standardized way. It consists of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. This notation helps to simplify calculations and make comparisons between numbers easier. It also allows for expressing extremely large or small values without having to write out all the zeros.
To write 48 million in scientific notation, you would express it as 4.8 x 10^7. To write 48 millionths in scientific notation, you would express it as 4.8 x 10^-5.
Write the number as a decimal multiplied by a power of 10
It is: 33,400,000 or as 3.34*107 in scientific notation
