What is scientific notation and why is it used?
Scientific notation writes a number as a value between one and ten multiplied by a power of ten. It makes very large or very small numbers easier to read, write, and calculate, which is why scientists and mathematicians use it for measurements like distances in space or sizes of atoms.
How do you convert a number into scientific notation?
Move the decimal point so one nonzero digit remains to its left, then count the places you moved it. That count becomes the exponent of ten, positive for large numbers and negative for small ones. Write the coefficient times ten raised to that exponent to complete the conversion.
How do you multiply numbers written in scientific notation?
Multiply the coefficients together and add the exponents of the powers of ten. Then adjust the result so the coefficient stays between one and ten, changing the exponent if needed. This keeps the answer in proper scientific notation form after combining the two values.
