For the same reason that numbers in ordinary notation need computing.
They do not need computing any more or less than other numbers.
Scientific notation is not a problem that needs to be "solved".
It is a number that needs to be put into scientific notation.
Scientific notation would be 1.610000E+04 in computing speak, or just 1.61 x 10^4. Engineering notation would be 16.1 x 10^3 [always to the nearest 3]
As far as we know, we only use scientific notation here on Earth, for the computing of very large numbers (like the distance between planets) or very small numbers (like the radius of a hydrogen atom).
No, 32.8 x 10 is incorrect. In order for it to be scientific notation, the decimal needs to go to the left one more place. It would be 3.28 X 102.
It helps in computing very large or very small numbers.

Scientific computing play crucial rules in any field. In modern era, data is growing and new method arising for grid computing or telecommunication etc. They method needs computing power. Then scientific computing comes and play important rule in computer science.http://www.csd.cs.cmu.edu/research/areas/scicomp/

It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
It is "(scientific notation)".
The scientific notation for 89,450 is: 8.945 × 104
This number in scientific notation is 9.8x10-5.
It is: 2.7*10^0 in scientific notation
