Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is a powerful tool used for representing very large and very small numbers in a compact form. It is defined as n × 10^x, where 1 ≤ n < 10. This notation simplifies calculations and makes it easier to handle extreme values. In this guide, you will learn how to convert standard numbers to scientific notation, such as writing 42,500,000 as 4.25 × 10^7, and how to interpret numbers like 5.1 × 10^-6 in standard form. Discover practical examples to enhance your understanding of this essential mathematical concept.
