What does the 'e' mean on a calculator's answer?
Interesting! So, I've noticed that sometimes the calculator will give an answer in decimal form and sometimes in scientific notation. Why is that?
The calculator will typically switch to scientific notation for very large or very small numbers, because it is easier to read and makes calculations more manageable. However, you can usually switch back and forth between decimal and scientific notation modes on most calculators.
