Scientific Notation
Often used to express
very large or
very small numbers.
Also used to maintain
correct number of
significant figures.

Rule for MultiplicationCalculating with Numbers Written in Scientific Notation
When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, multiply thefirst factors and ADD the exponents.
Sample Problem: Multiply (3.2 x 10-7 )x (2.1 x 105)
(3.2) x (2.1) = 6.72
(-7) + (5) = -2 or 10-2
6.72 x 10-2
Exercise: Multiply (14.6 x 107 ) X (1.5 x 104 ) 2.19 x 1012

Rule for DivisionCalculating with Numbers Written in Scientific Notation
When dividing numbers in scientific notation, divide the first factor in the numerator by the first factor in the denominator.Then subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.
Sample Problem: Divide (6.4 x 106 ) by (1.7 x 102 )
(6.4) (1.7) = 3.76
(6) - (2) = 4 or 104
3.76 x 104
Exercise: Divide 2.4 x 10-7 by 3.1 x 1014 7.74 x 10-22

Rule for Addition and SubtractionCalculating with Numbers Written in Scientific Notation
In order to add or subtract numbers written in scientific notation, you must express them with the same power of 10.
Sample Problem: Add (5.8 x 103 ) + ( 2.16 x 104 )
(5.8 x 103) + (21.6 x 103) = 27.4 x 103
Exercise: Add (8.32 x 10-7 ) + (1.2 x 10-5 ) 1.28 x 10-5
2.74 x 104
