What is Scientific Notation?
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is written as m × 10ⁿ, where 1 ≤ |m| < 10 and n is an integer.
💡
Pro Tips
The coefficient (m) must have exactly one non-zero digit before the decimal point for standard form.
A positive exponent means a very large number.
A negative exponent means a very small number (between 0 and 1).

Fun Facts
"The number of atoms in the observable universe is roughly 10⁸⁰."
"Computers often use 'E-notation' (e.g., 6.02E23) where 'E' stands for 'exponent of 10'."
"Archimedes wrote 'The Sand Reckoner' to prove he could name the number of grains of sand required to fill the universe using powers of 10."
