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 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.
For example:
23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4
-23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4
0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^(-4)
To convert a number in scientific notation to normal form:
- If b is positive, move the decimal point b places to the right in the number a - adding 0s at the end of the number, if required.
- If b is negative, move the decimal point b places to the left in the number a - adding 0s immediately after the decimal point, if required.
- The final expression has the same sign (+ or -) as a in the scientific form.
For example:
4.56*10^5 = 456000.
-4.56*10^5 = -456000.
4.56*10^(-5) = 0.0000456
I have avoided using the term "Standard form" because, ironically, it is a non-standard term. In the UK Standard and Scientific forms are the same whereas in the US, the Standard form is what I have chosen to call the normal form.

What are the rules writing of scientific notation?
In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form: a*10b where a is a decimal number such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and b is an integer.
How to write the rules in writing standard notation to scientific notation?
I don't know what you mean "how to write the rules." In the US, "standard" notation means "long form", i.e. 6,000,000, while "scientific" notation means the exponential form, 6x106. I had thought it was the same in the UK, but Mehtamatics says otherwise: "Standard notation and scientific notation are the same in terms of UK usage of these phrases."
What is Scientific Notation Grammar?
Scientific notation grammar refers to the conventions and rules for writing numbers in scientific notation, which typically expresses a number as a product of a coefficient and a power of ten. The coefficient must be a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, while the exponent indicates how many places the decimal point is moved. For example, the number 5,000 can be written in scientific notation as 5.0 x 10^3. This format is widely used in scientific and mathematical contexts to simplify the representation of very large or very small numbers.
What are the rules when expressing a long mathematical expression to scientific notation form?
Scientific notation is of little use for long mathematical expressions. It is used to express very large or very small numbers - not expressions.
What are the rules of for writing numbers in scientific notation?
If it is unambiguous and can be recognized by a computer it's probably OK. For very large or very small numbers the format is normally n.nnnnn x 10m in the form n.nnnnnEm or similar. All integers have to be written out exactly.

What are the rules in writing in scientific notation?
Scientific Notation, Standard Form and Exponential Notation are used in different countries but all have the same meaning. It is a way of expressing a number as a value between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. 5.63 x 10² is the standard form number of 563. 8.6927 x 10^4 is the standard form number of 86927.
Rules in adding or subtracting scientific notation?
When adding or subtracting numbers in scientific notation, ensure that the exponents are the same. If the exponents are not the same, adjust one or both numbers to match. Then, add or subtract the coefficients while keeping the exponent the same. Finally, simplify the result if necessary by converting it back to proper scientific notation.

What rules do we use to convert standard to scientific notation?
Standard notation (in the UK) is the same as scientific notation. So the one rule to use is DO NOTHING!

How do you solve equation in scientific notation form?
To solve equations in scientific notation, first ensure all terms are expressed in the same format. If necessary, convert numbers from standard form to scientific notation. Perform the arithmetic operations, maintaining the bases and adjusting the exponents according to the rules of exponents. Finally, convert the result back to standard form if needed.
Are Scientific notation is a way of making numbers scientific?
Scientific notation is a useful way of dealing with very large and very small numbers. It allows them to be presented in a form where their magnitude can be seen more easily. Also it can simplify calculations by allowing you to concentrate on the significant digits rather than the orders of magnitude which are very easily dealt with. This latter advantage has somewhat diminished with the widespread availability of calculators and computers. But previously people used log tables and slide rules for multiplication and division. These calculating devices depended on thinking of numbers in their scientific notation.
