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.
Cross out the original number's decimal point. This is the first step to beginning to convert the number into scientific notation. If you're working with the number 0.00004205, just write an x over the decimal point. 3. Add a new decimal point to the number so that there's only one non-zero digit in front of it. In this case, the first non-zero number is 4, so place the decimal point after the 4 so that the new number reads 000004.205. This works for large numbers, too.
