Scientific Notation
• Form c x 10^n where c ≥ 1, c < 10, and n is an integer.
Example:Standard form Product form Scientific Notation 56, 780, 000 = 5.678 x 10, 000, 000 = 5.678 x 10^7
From Standard Form to Scientific Notation
Step 1:Identify how many places (n) do you have to move the decimal point to leave only one digit to the left side of the decimal point.
Step 2:Move the decimal point. If the decimal point is moved to the right, write n as a negative number. If the decimal point is moved to the left, write n as a positive number.
Step 3:Multiply times 10 to the n power.
From Standard Form to Scientific Notation
Example: 8, 450, 000Step 1:
8, 450, 000 n = 6Step 2:
8.45Step 3:
8.45 x 10^6
