What is scientific notation?

Back

A way to express very large or very small numbers using powers of ten, in the form a × 10^n, where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.

Front

How do you multiply numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents: (a × 10^m) × (b × 10^n) = (a × b) × 10^(m+n).

Front

How do you divide numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents: (a × 10^m) ÷ (b × 10^n) = (a ÷ b) × 10^(m-n).

Front

What is the coefficient in scientific notation?

Back

The number 'a' in the expression a × 10^n, which must be between 1 and 10.

Front

What is the exponent in scientific notation?

Back

The integer 'n' in the expression a × 10^n, which indicates the power of ten.
