In the UK, none, since they are the same. For people in the US,
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 b is negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4

This question is impossible to answer since, in the UK, the two things are exactly the same! So the steps are: sit back, do nothing!
Simply multiply the base 10 to some exponent by the given value to obtain the number in standard form. For instance: 1.43214 x 105 Shift 5 decimal places to the right to obtain: 143214.0
Scientific notation is not a problem that needs to be "solved".
The steps, in order, will depend on what you wish to do: convert from normal to scientific notation, the converse, perform one of the basic operations of arithmetic on numbers in scientific notation.
