You need a whole number for the scientific notion, right? To find that number above 1 and under 10, you can move the decimal point over until you get that number. Count the amount of spaces you moved the decimal point, and that's your number for scientific notation. To get the negative sign, you have to determine whether for scientific notation you make your number bigger or smaller. If you make it bigger, you have to put a negative sign on the exponent. If the number becomes smaller, it is a positive number. Hope this helps!
