Scientific notation makes it easier to write very large numbers. For example, instead of writing 540,000,000,000, you would write 5.4 x 10 to the power of 11

Converting to Scientific Notation:

  • The number must be converted into a whole number with one digit. Let's use the number 500 for example.You would turn it into 5.0
  • Then, you times it by ten to the power of decimal places needed to make it 500. 5.0 x 10 to the power of 2
  • That's it.
