Scientific 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.
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.
100 meters in scientific notation format is: 1.0 × 102 meters.
You find scientific notation in Excel under the Format - Number menu.
1,245 in scientific notation is: 1.245 × 103
376000000000 in scientific notation is 3.76 × 1011Standard notation is 376,000,000,000Scientific notation (also called standard form or exponential notation) is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be conveniently written in standard decimal notation.
An example of doing this is here: 25,000 = 2.5 x 10 squared 4
1.3728 x 102 feet
Since the entered decimal number -6.65 already has only one number to the left of the decimal point, the number is already in scientific notation format.

To write this number in scientific notation, you place the number of times the decimal is moved to the left as the exponent. 238857 miles, or 238,857 miles is written in scientific notation as 2.38857 X 105 miles.
Scientific notation is always written as a number (between 1 and 10) multiplied by a power of ten. For example: 107.6 in scientific notation would be 1.076 x 102 notice how the first number is between 1 and 10 and it is being multiplied by a power of ten. So the example you gave is not written in the same format and is thus not written in scientific notation. If you were to write it in scientific notation you would multiply the two numbers and then convert the answer to scientific notation and write it as: 1.0602904 x 103
Scientific notation allows for representing extremely large or small numbers using a simpler format. The system itself does not set a limit on the numbers that can be written in scientific notation. However, beyond a certain point, numbers become so large that they are not practical or meaningful in most scientific or everyday contexts, which is why the representation is typically stopped at centillion.
