What is scientific and standard notation?

Scientific notation is used to compress large numbers into smaller numbers. In order to write a number in scientific notation, the number is written as a decimal number, between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10.

For example:

• The number : 1 x 10² is equivalent to 100

• The number 5 x 10³ is equivalent to 500

When changing a number that is less than 1 to scientific notation, there would be a negative sign before the power.

0.000439 = 4.39 x 10^-4

In order to convert a number from scientific notation to standard notation, multiply the number by its power.

1.43 x 10^5

= 1.43 x 100,000 = 143,000
