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

How are number that expressed in scientific notation?
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 !
How is the number 237 written in scientific notation?
2.37 X 102 ============as you see for numbers this small scientific notation is more inconvenient than just writing the number in standard notation
What do you call the number 1 followed by 80 zeros?
In scientific notation it is: 1.0*1080
What number is followed by100000 zeros?
