becasue it is shorter to write.
ex. 1400000000000000 or 1.4x10^14 By definition, scientific notation is a way of writing numbers in terms of decimal number between 1 and 10 times a power of 10.Scientific notation is very important for calculations. It makes it much more easier to write out equations.
For example instead of writing:
1000000000000 x 1000000000000000000000000000000
you can write:
10 to the power of 12 x 10 to the power of 30. Get it?
Such numbers would not need to be written in scientific notation but if need be it is: 1.2345*10^2
1.48, in scientific notation is 1.48 but, if you really need to show that you have written it in scientific notation, you could write it as 1.48*100
Using scientific notation reduces the need to write out very large or very small numbers as the following examples show:- 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.0*1012 in scientific notation 0.0000000001 = 1.0*10-10 in scientific notation
830 would not normally need be written in scientific notation. However, it would be 8.3x102
You need scientific notation too make really big numbers ,like 15,600,000,000, to an easier way. The scientific notation of 15,600,000,000 is 1.56 x 1010You also need it to make really small small numbers , like 0.0000064, easier to use in a math problem. the scientific notation of 0.0000064 is 6.4 x10-6
You do not simply calculate scientific notation for nothing. You need a number for which you calculate the scientific notation.
You don't need to do anything. It is in scientific notation.
Such numbers would not need to be written in scientific notation but if need be it is: 1.2345*10^2

Sometimes. Scientific notation is used to express very small or very large numbers. If the problem does not involve any such numbers then there is no need for scientific notation.
Jobs use scientific notation when people need to compute very large or very small numbers.
100 million in Scientific Notation = 1 x 108
If need be: 3.455*102
It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
