Exponents Scientific Notation

Introduction:

                     The Scientific notation also known as standard form or as exponential notation. The scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that accommodates values too large or small to be expediently written in standard decimal notation.

                    The scientific or exponents notation has a number of useful properties, that often by mathematicians, engineering and scientists.

General Form of Scientific Notation:

The scientific notation are written by,
       A X 10^B (A times 10 to the power of B)
Here Exponents B is an integer and A is a coefficient that has a any real number called as the mantissa or significant. If the number is negative then put minus sign in ordinary decimal notation(A).
For Ex :         9 X 10 ³
Here 9 is a mantissa of significand and
3 is an Exponents.
Convert a number from normal form into scientific notation:
The main function of writing a number in scientific notation is to have a decimal number, with one digit to the left of the decimal point, followed by  A X 10 to Some power.
Step 1: First we divide the A by 10.B times making it A.
Step 2: Each division by 10 moves the decimal point to the left B digit.
