What is Scientific Notation?

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It has the form a × 10^b, where a is the coefficient and b is the exponent.

Coefficient (a): A number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
Base (10): Always 10 in scientific notation.
Exponent (b): An integer (positive or negative).

For example, the standard number 123,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 1.23 × 10⁸. Similarly, 0.00000567 becomes 5.67 × 10^-6. Scientific notation is widely used in science and engineering to handle very large and very small numbers.
