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.
A number in scientific notation can easily be converted back into standard notation. The digits need to be written first, followed by the proper amount of corresponding zeros so that the number has the correct decimal point. For example, 7 x 10^2 can be written as 700. The 7 is written first.
