To add or subtract numbers in scientific notation you first need to equalise their exponents. Having done that, you carry out the addition or subtraction on the significands and append the common exponent. Then you adjust the exponent so that the significand is between 1 and 10.
For example,
1.234*104 - 2.34*102
(equalise exponents) = 123.4*102 - 2.34*102
(carry out subtraction) = (123.4-2.34)*102 = 121.06*102
(adjust exponent) = 1.2106*104
they express the numbers using scientific notation
Only if the numbers to be converted into scientific notation are the same otherwise the exponents can vary according to the size the numbers.
It is 3.0002*10^10 in scientific notation
It is scientific notation or standard form
376000000000 in scientific notation is 3.76 × 1011Standard notation is 376,000,000,000Scientific notation (also called standard form or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal 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).
The point of using scientific notation is to compute very large or very small numbers.
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

It is using the scientific notation.
When numbers are tremendously large or small.
No. 35 is exponential notation, (3 is the base of the exponent 5), but in scientific notation the base must be 10 and the exponent must be an integer. 100.1 is exponential notation but not sci. notation.
The practical uses of scientific notation are to compute very large or very small numbers.
