You use scientific notation when it comes to "too large" or "too small" numbers. The purpose of this is to save some time to do the computation and also to make people's life easier to compute values instead of writing them out completely!

For instance, if we want to compute this expression:

1012301230912409 + 12901348093584542523

Then, we need to convert them into scientific notation!
