Place a decimal point after the first digit and include in the basic number any number not zero, unless there is a number greater than zero following a zero. As in this case, the 2 follows a zero so we include it. Then multiply by 10. To determine "to what power" count the number of digits after the decimal point. In this case there are 2 digits after the decimal (0 and 2). The correct notation is 7.02 x 102 g
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
192
It is: 3.5*10-3 kg
Anyone can use scientific notation - including women!

The point of using scientific notation is to compute very large or very small numbers.
The base number must be 10.
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
When using scientific notation, the coefficient must be between greater than or equal to 1, and less than 10. For example, 5.17, 9.63, and 1.49 are all correct coefficients, while 0.12 and 10.87 are not.
Scientific notation doesn't stop at a centillion. 1 centillion in scientific notation is 1 * 10303, but you can also write 1 * 10304 or even 9 * 109999999 in scientific notation. There is no upper limit to the numbers you can write in scientific notation.
