Understanding Scientific Notation
What is Scientific Notation?
Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers in a compact form. It’s written as:
a × 10b
Where:
- a is a number between 1 and 10 (coefficient)
- b is an integer (exponent)

Calculation Rules
When performing calculations with scientific notation:
- Multiplication: Multiply coefficients and add exponents
- Division: Divide coefficients and subtract exponents
- Addition/Subtraction: Convert to same exponent first
Example: (2.5 × 10³) × (3.0 × 10⁴) = 7.5 × 10⁷
