If the exponent is positive, you move the decimal point to the right, the specified number of digits. For a negative exponent, you move it to the left. In either case, you fill out missing digits with zero. Examples (using "^" for power):3.448 x 10^1 = 34.48
5 x 10^6 = 5000000 (note the implied decimal point to the right of the number)
3 x 10^-3 = 0.003

How do you change a number in decimal notation to scientific notation?
times by the little number like .420 is 80
Rules in converting scientific notation to decimal notation?
to convert scientific notation to decimal you count the number of spaces up to the last digit then put the decimal point then put x10 to the power of if how many places you move the decimal point.................................
Is 1.58 the same as 1.588235294 in scientific notation?
No, scientific notation is when you express a number as a multiple of a power of ten. 1.58 would be rounding the number not changing it to scientific notation. To change 1.588235294 to scientific notation, you multiply 1.588235294 by a multiple of 10 to move the decimal point to the right until there is one number to the right of the decimal point.. So 1.588235294 * 100000000 = 158823529.4 Then you express 100000000 as an exponent. 100000000 = 10^7. BUT!!! Because to change 158823529.4 back into 1.588235294, you would have to divide it by 10^7, you have to change it to a negative exponent so 10^-7. The final answer is 158823529.4*10^-7 which is the same as 158823529.4/10^7 or 158823529.4/100000000.
How do you convert scientific notation to decimal notation?
If the number in sci. notation has a positive exponent, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 5.78 x 103 = 5780 If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 2.945 x 10-5 = 0.00002945
Why are extremely large and small numbers expressed in scientific notation than decimal notation?
Large Number & Small Number are Difficult to Write and Read,So a Method For Writing and Reading them More Easily This Calle Scientific notation ,To Computation make easy! :)))
