Scientific notation is simply a method for expressing, and working with, very large or very small numbers. It is a short hand method for writing numbers, and an easy method for calculations. Numbers in scientific notation are made up of three parts: the coefficient, the base and the exponent. Observe the example below:
5.67 x 10^5
This is the scientific notation for the standard number, 567 000. Now look at the number again, with the three parts labeled.
5.67 x 10^5
coefficient base exponent
In order for a number to be in correct scientific notation, the following conditions must be true:
1. The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
2. The base must be 10.
3. The exponent must show the number of decimal places that the decimal needs to be moved to change the number to standard notation. A negative exponent means that the decimal is moved to the left when changing to standard notation.

∙ 8y agoScientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form a*10^b where 1 <= |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive). a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.

What rules do we use to convert standard to scientific notation?
Standard notation (in the UK) is the same as scientific notation. So the one rule to use is DO NOTHING!
How to write the rules in writing standard notation to scientific notation?
I don't know what you mean "how to write the rules." In the US, "standard" notation means "long form", i.e. 6,000,000, while "scientific" notation means the exponential form, 6x106. I had thought it was the same in the UK, but Mehtamatics says otherwise: "Standard notation and scientific notation are the same in terms of UK usage of these phrases."
What are the rules writing of scientific notation?
In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form: a*10b where a is a decimal number such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and b is an integer.
What are the rules when expressing a long mathematical expression to scientific notation form?
Scientific notation is of little use for long mathematical expressions. It is used to express very large or very small numbers - not expressions.

Rules in adding or subtracting scientific notation?
- when adding or subtracting in scientific notation, you must express the numbers as the same power of 10. This will often involve changing the decimal place of the coefficient.
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.................................

It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
What is scientific notation in parentheses?
It is "(scientific notation)".
What are the rules in writing in scientific notation?
Scientific Notation, Standard Form and Exponential Notation are used in different countries but all have the same meaning. It is a way of expressing a number as a value between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. 5.63 x 10² is the standard form number of 563. 8.6927 x 10^4 is the standard form number of 86927.
