Understanding Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are very large or very small in a more convenient and readable form. It's written in the form: a × 10ⁿ where:
- a is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10
- n is an integer (positive or negative)
Examples:
- Large number: 299,792,458 = 2.99792458 × 10⁸
- Small number: 0.000000001 = 1 × 10⁻⁹
