Scientific Notation

Hi everyone! This is going to be a short and simple post. I just wanted to talk about a concept that some people don't know about; scientific notation.

Scientific Notation

	If the number is 10 or greater, the decimal point has to move to the left, and the power of 10 will be positive.
	If the number is smaller than 1, the decimal point has to move to the right, so the power of 10 will be negative.  Here are some examples:  10000 = 1 x 10424327 = 2.4327 x 1041000 = 1 x 1037354 = 7.354 x 103100 = 1 x 102482 = 4.82 x 10210 = 1 x 101 1 = 1001/10 = 0.1 = 1 x 10-10.32 = 3.2 x 10-1 (not usually done)1/100 = 0.01 = 1 x 10-20.053 = 5.3 x 10-21/1000 = 0.001 = 1 x 10-30.0078 = 7.8 x 10-31/10000 = 0.0001 = 1 x 10-40.00044 = 4.4 x 10-4 If you need more help, click this link. Scientific Notation
