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.

Writing numbers in standard form with decimals and powers?
It is using the scientific notation.
What are the rules writing of scientific notation?
In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form: a*10b where a is a decimal number such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and b is an integer.
What is the general form for writing numbers you scientific notation?
The general form of a number in scientific notation is ax 10n, where a must be between 1 and 10, and nmust be an integer. (Thus, for example, these are not in scientific notation: 34 x 105; 4.8 x 100.5.).
Is scientific notation exponential notation?
Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. In normalized scientific notation all numbers are written in the form a x 10^b (a times ten raised to the power of b) where a is a nonzero single-digit integer and b is an integer.
What is exponantial notation?
Exponential notation is a way of writing numbers that allows you to move the decimal point in a number. This is also referred to as standard form or scientific notation.
