because some numbers are tooo big for the screen so the calculator puts it in scientific notation form
Scientific notation is often used to represent very large and very small numbers. Actually, you can also express a "normal-sized" number in scientific notation. So, whenever there is a number, you may use scientific notation.
Scientific Notation is a way of expressing a number as a value between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. So, 0.0763 = 7.63 x 10-2
10000000000
Scientific notation makes it easier to express numbers of extremely small or large magnitude. For example, we could either say that something is .00000000068 meters long, or simply use scientific notation to write it as 6.8 x 10-10 meters. There is also an "engineering" notation which is similar to scientific notation, but all exponents are multiples of 3. This is so we can introduce prefixes such as nano, micro, kilo, giga, etc. The number 573000 would be written as 5.73 x 105 in scientific notation, and 573 x 103 in engineering notation.
