It is used to make life easier for mathematicians and scientist. So instead of them having to write 10,000,000 they can just write 10(7). It is also something that everyone can understand. It was invented by Ellie Jane Smith from Germany in 1867.

What is the expression for 12.12 in standard form?

The most correct standard form for 12.12 is "twelve point one two." The form "twelve and twelve one-hundredths" is also correct but is not the standard form. The common form "twelve point twelve" may be used from time to time (even by math teachers) but is not a correct form.
