Study Notes

Scientific Notation

The exponent in scientific notation indicates the power of ten by which the coefficient is multiplied.
A nonzero real number in scientific notation is expressed in the form of (m \times 10^n), where (m) represents the coefficient and (n) is the exponent.
The usual range for the coefficient (m) in scientific notation is between 1 and 10 (1 ≤ m < 10).
