What uses powers of ten to write very large or small numbers in shorter form?
It is usually called scientific notation.
Scientific notation has several common forms:
- normalized decimal, numeric part has a single digit left of the decimal point
- normalized binary (used in many computers), numeric part has a single implied (but not stored) one bit left of the binary point
- engineering decimal (used in most engineering fields) numeric part has one to three digits left of the decimal point
- etc.
In addition to the 10 to the power of form in which it is usually written, there are other ways of writing scientific notation (commonly used by calculators and computer programming languages), one example is "E form" where the letter separates the numeric part and the exponent part.
