Scientific notation: A method for expressing, and working with, very large or very small
numbers.
•
To find the exponent, count the number of places from the decimal to the end of the
numbers.

– Therefore we write 146,000,000 as 1.46 x 108
•
Scientific notation can be used for very small numbers as well.
– The decimal number 0.000000095 written in scientific notation would be 9.5 x10-8
Draw of describe something very small.
