A shortcut used to report numbers that are really small or really large. Makes it easier to enter into calculators and calculate. What is Scientific Notation? 602000000000000000000000 6.02 x 1023
Why Can’t We just leave off the zeros? $25,000.00 $25.00
Let’s Try Which numbers are written in scientific notation? .000057 2.45 x 1045 2.45 x 10-7 1250000000000
How do I put it into scientific notation? 6.02 x 1023
What are the rules? Exponent 6.02 x 1023 • Should always have the decimal after the first non-zero number • Should never include trailing zeros or leading zeros • The exponent is the number of decimal places the decimal moved. Coefficient
