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. In the context of significant figures, the digits in the coefficient of the scientific notation determine the number of significant figures in the measurement.
