Scientific Notation

In the UK, you do nothing! The two notations are the same.

8.5697 x 100.

It is: 9.0*10-4

It is: 1.2*105

7.64 x 10e-5

3.7x109.

0.825 in scientific notation is 8.25 x 10^-1

9.99714*10 to the 1st power

Four billion in Scientific Notation = 4 x 109

5.8*103

1 centillion = 10303

It is 2.8*10^9.

7.7 x 103.

0.0000034

2460000000

these are not in scientific notation

3.25 x 1011

-they use scientific method

-they use trial and error method

0.2978 in Scientific Notation = 2.978 x 10-1

60,124 = 6.0124 x 10^4

* In those countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million) like Europe:

1 billion = (10^6)^2 = 10^12

→ 26.5 billion = 26.5 × 10^12 = 2.65 × 10^13

* In those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one) like USA:

1 billion = (10^3)^(2+1) = 10^9

→ 26.5 billion = 26.5 × 10^9 = 2.65 × 10^10

It is: 2.4*10^3

2.5162 × 102

Scientific notation means the number is represented as being greater or equal to one but less than 10.

So for 103:

103

= 10.3 x 10 [still greater than 1 but not less than 10]

= 1.03 x 102 [greater than or equal to one? Check. Less than 10? Check]

So, 103 in scientific notation is: 1.03 x 102

6.27*10-4

Interpret 3400 as 3400.0. Then, move 3 decimal places left from the starting point, so the exponent for base 10 is 3. Therefore, in scientific notation, the term is 3.4 x 10³.
