You need scientific notation too make really big numbers ,like 15,600,000,000, to an easier way. The scientific notation of 15,600,000,000 is 1.56 x 1010

You also need it to make really small small numbers , like 0.0000064, easier to use in a math problem. the scientific notation of 0.0000064 is 6.4 x10-6
