Scientific notation is used to express very large or very small values. Numbers in scientific notation are written in the form of m × 10 to the power of n For example: 500 is written as 5 x 10^2 where: 500 = 5 x 10 x 10
Now, let's consider 7 x 10^3: Following the same procedure: 7 x 10^3 = 7 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 7000 The pattern can be written as: 7 x 10^3 = 7 x 10 x 10^2 = 70 x 10^2 = 70 x 10 x 10^1 = 700 x 10 = 7000
