Understanding Standard Form

Standard form, also known as scientific notation, is a way to write very large or very small numbers in a more manageable format. It expresses numbers as a coefficient (between 1 and 10) multiplied by 10 raised to a power.

How to Read Standard Form

A number in standard form looks like this: a × 10ⁿ, where:

• a is a number between 1 and 10
