<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. Scientific notation is written by writting a decimal number between 1 and 10 together with an exponent of 10.
Given
First, using distributive property of numbers, seperate the decimal numbers and the exponents of 10, we have
Because, scientific notation requires that the decimal number part be a number between 1 and 10, we move the decimal point 1 place foward and subtract 1 from the exponent of 10.
Therefore, </span><span>
in standard notation is
