Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form.

In normalized scientific notation all numbers are written in the form a x 10^b (a times ten raised to the power of b) where a is a nonzero single-digit integer and b is an integer.

953 in scientific notation is 9.53 x 10^2

0.0067 in scientific notation is 6.7 x 10^-3

To convert a number to scientific notation: · If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end. · Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it. · The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a. · If the original number is negative, then so is a. · The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then b is negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4
