Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scientific notation is a method of writing very large or very small numbers in an easier to read format. It involves expressing the number as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. For example, the number 350,000,000 would be expressed as 3.5 x 10^8 in scientific notation. The decimal point is always placed behind the first significant digit, which is a rule of scientific notation.
