Understanding Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a method to express numbers, especially very large or small ones, in a concise format. It's written as a × 10b, where a is a number between 1 and 10 (including 1), and b is an integer exponent. For example, 0.000123 becomes 1.23 × 10-4, and 123,000 becomes 1.23 × 105. This notation simplifies calculations and is widely used in science and engineering.
- Coefficient (a): A number such that 1 ≤ |a| < 10.
- Base: Always 10.
- Exponent (b): An integer (positive, negative, or zero).
