Scientific notation (also referred to as scientific form, standard form or standard index form) is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations.
Scientific notation of a number just writes the significant digits followed by an appropriate power of ten. The most common form of scientific notation inserts a decimal point after the first significant digit, follows the significant digits with times, x, and then 10 to a power. If the original number is at least one, the power is the number of digits between the decimal point and the first number on the left.
