Would you rather write down...,
234,000,000,000,000,000,000
or,
2.34 X 1020
Would you like to do this division in standard notation?
234,000,000,000,000,000,000/145,000,000,000
Or this?
2.34 X 1020/1.45 X 1011
Where you just divide the upper number by the lower and subtract the lower exponent from the upper exponent.
That is the advantage of scientific notation and in science you run into very large and very small numbers all the time.
