Best Answer

Standard index form is a convenient way to represent very large or very small numbers. It is often used in physics where these extreme values are used regularly.

E.g.

6.63 x 10-34 is a common value used.

5 x 102 is 500

which is equivalent to 5 x 10 x 10

5 x 10-2 is 0.05

which is equivalent to 5 / 10 / 10
