How do you get scientific notation?

Answer 1

600

Answer 2

Scientific notation is an easier way to write very large and very small numbers. A number in scientific notation is written as the product of a number between 1 an a power of 10. You write the power of 10 using exponents, with 10 as the base and the number of times 10 is as a factor as the exponent. I am sorry if you do not get it.

I am now improving my old answer with an example to go along with it.

Ex. scientific notation of 43786826400000 you would have a decimal at the end, so it now looks like this: 43786826400000. then you move it in between the first 2 whole numbers, excluding 0 so now: 4.3786826400000 but take off the 0's so now: 4.37868264 but count how many spaces you moved. In this example, you (or I) moved the decimal 13 spaces (you count the zero's for this part). then arrange it with four remaining #'s like this: 4.37868264 multiplied by 10 (always 10) to the 13 power (13 comes from the spaces you moved). NOW it's like this:

4.37868264 x 10 to the 13th power.

Hoped this worked better. p.s. there also is a reverse where you go another way, but that's for later. Ask your math teacher or whatever.
