Scientific notation may reduce errors by removing the need to count leading 0s in a number smaller than 1 or trailing 0s in numbers larger than 9.

However, one common use of scientific numbers is to reduce the number of significant digits. While that simplifies calculations and gives the answer to an appropriate degree of accuracy, it can introduce rounding errors and truncation errors.
