Depending on the display modes your calculator supports and what you have selected it might show as (commas may or may not be shown, different numbers of display digits may be selected, some newer calculators may show 3 exponent digits):
Scientific Notation is expressed by using a number, using an exponent as a number (usually a decimal) multiplied by a 10, and an exponent (the number on the exponent is the number of zeros the number has).Example: 120,000,000 in scientific notation is 1.2 X 107
It is called the exponent.
Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer. However, negative and fractional exponents are also defined; you can verify this with any scientific calculator (use a positive number as the base, in this case).Note: In a number such as 103, 10 is the base, 3 is the exponent.Yes, that is the basic idea - if the exponent (the number with a superscript) is a positive integer.

To enter Avogadro's number (approximately (6.022 \times 10^{23})) into the TI-30X IIS calculator, first input the coefficient by typing 6.022. Next, press the 2nd key followed by the EE key (which represents scientific notation) to enter the exponent. Finally, input 23 for the exponent, and then press = to complete the entry. The calculator will display the value in scientific notation.
You divide the decimal numbers as usual. Then subtract the bottom number's exponent from the top number's exponent. This will give you the new exponent. For example: 6.30 x 105/2.1 x 103 = 3.0 x 105-3 = 3.0 x 102 It's much easier to do this on a scientific calculator, but it is good to know the principle behind this kind of operation.
The value of the exponent is 9: (6,140,000,000 in Scientific Notation = 6.14 x 109)
If your calculator is advanced, like the TI-84, there is an exponent button you can hit. Then, just Type negative and the exponent. If it is a simpler calculator, like a four-function calculator, there IS a way. By raising a number to a negative exponent, you are saying that one is being divided by that number to the positive version of that power. Ex: 5^-8 = 1/(5^8). To do this, divide one by the base, then raise it to the exponent, making sure that the exponent is POSITIVE. Also be careful that the entire denominator is in parentheses, just in case.
The answer depends on your calculator but many have shortcut keys for "x10x" or something similar.
Hit the EE button on the calculator, and two zeros pop up on the right side of the screen. You then can type any one or two digit number as your exponent.
Te exponent would not change if the number is less than 5.
A number with a small exponent is smaller than a number with a large exponent. If two numbers have the same exponent then compare the mantissae. The smaller mantissa represents the smaller number.
if it is a scientific calculator you just have to press replay at the top of the calculator
