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 (numbers greater than or equal to 10) - Example. 300,000,000 m/s. Place decimal point to the right of the number: 300,000,000. Move decimal point so that only the 3 is to the left of the decimal: 3.00000000. Count the number of places the decimal point was moved:8. Write the number in scientific notation: 3.00 x 10â¸ m/s.
