What does the 'e' mean on a calculator's answer?
So, what does the 'e' actually represent in scientific notation?
The 'e' represents the number of times you need to multiply the first number, which is typically a decimal between 1 and 10, by 10 raised to some power in order to get the whole number being represented. For example, if you see '3.5e6', it means 3.5 x 10^6, or 3.5 multiplied by 10 raised to the 6th power, which is 3,500,000.
