Step 1
• Move the decimal point until it is to the right of the first nonzero digit. The result is a real number a.
Step 2
•Note the number of places n and the direction that you moved the decimal point.
Step 3:
•If the decimal point is moved left, write the number as
• a x 10 n .
•If the decimal point is moved right, write the number as
• a x 10 -n
Step 4 •Remove the unnecessary zeros

Step 1:
•In a x 10 n , note whether n > 0 or n < 0.
Step 2:
•If n > 0, move the decimal n places right.
•If n < 0, move the decimal n places left.
Step 3:
• Insert zeros, decimal point, and commas as needed for place value
