If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation, you must rewrite one of the numbers to the same power of ten as the other, before performing the addition (or subtraction).
0.801 written in scientific notation is 8.01 x 10 to the negative 1 power
Very large and very small numbers are expressed in scientific notation
200,000 in Scientific Notation = 2 x 105
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
If you are adding or subtracting two numbers in scientific notation, you must rewrite one of the numbers to the same power of ten as the other, before performing the addition (or subtraction).

Anyone can use scientific notation - including women!
200,000 in Scientific Notation = 2 x 105
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
The point of using scientific notation is to compute very large or very small numbers.
4000 in scientific notation is 4 x 103
0.0000072 in Scientific Notation = 7.2 x 10-6
375,000 in Scientific Notation = 3.75 x 105
Exponents play a big part in scientific notation because when you write in scientific notation, the first factor must be n between 1 and 10 and the second factor must be the number ten and an exponent. For example, a number in standard form would be 47,000, but in scientific notation, it would be 4.7 x 10 to the 4 power. Another example would be: Standard Form:0.0089 Scientific Notation: 8.9 x 10 to the -3 power.
0,000,004.3 in Scientific Notation = 4.3E-06 x 106
