235,500,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 2.355 × 10^14.
Here are the steps to converting a number to scientific notation:
<span><span>1. Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.
</span><span>2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b. </span><span>If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive. If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative. If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0. </span><span> 3. Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b." </span><span> 4. Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.
