Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form a*10^b where 1 <= |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive). a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent. To convert a number to scientific notation: · If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end. · Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it. · The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a. · If the original number is negative, then so is a. · The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then bis negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4
4,000,000 in Scientific Notation = 4 x 106
Scientific notation - is simply 'shortening' a number - and raising it to a power. For example - instead of writing 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 - the scientific notation equivalent would be 1019 - which saves a lot of space !
2.37 X 102 ============as you see for numbers this small scientific notation is more inconvenient than just writing the number in standard notation
In scientific notation it is: 1.0*1080
There is no special name for that. Just write it in scientific notation, as 10100000.

Writing a string of random digits is a proper waste!

In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form: a*10b where a is a decimal number such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and b is an integer.
It is a very large number which would be expressed in scientific notation
It is the number One followed by one hundred zeros. Or in scientific notation 1.0 x 10100
You can write this as a 6, followed by 25 zeroes. But since it is such a big number, better leave it in scientific notation, i.e., leave it as 6 x 1025.You can write this as a 6, followed by 25 zeroes.

there is just an easier way of writing a large number in scientific notation by placing times 10 then a negative or positive exponent compared to a large number
Exponential notation is a way of writing numbers that allows you to move the decimal point in a number. This is also referred to as standard form or scientific notation.
