Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is represented as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of ten. For example, 3.50×10³ cm³ indicates that the number 3.50 is multiplied by 1000, which helps in identifying significant figures more easily.
