Scientific notation is a way of representing numbers, usually very large or very small, in the form
a*10^b where 1 <= |a| < 10 is a decimal number and b is an integer (negative or positive).
a is called the mantissa and b is called the exponent.
To convert a number to scientific notation:
• If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end.
• Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it.
• The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a.
• If the original number is negative, then so is a.
• The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then b is negative.

How can you use a scientific notation to identify the significant digits in certain numbers?
If done correctly, the coefficient of the scientific notation has the same number of significant figures as the whole number.

How do you evaluate 879000000000 in scientific notation?
In scientific notation, you write 879,000,000,000 as 8.79 × 10^11. This is done by moving the decimal point 11 places to the left, and assigning the exponent of 11 to the power of 10.
