Scientific notation expresses very large or very small numbers in the form m × 10^n, where 1 ≤ m < 10 and n is an integer. For example, the speed of light (~300,000,000 m/s) becomes 3.0 × 10^8 m/s, and a cell’s diameter might be 2.5 × 10^–5 m. To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point until only one nonzero digit appears to its left, counting the moves to determine the exponent sign and magnitude. This is widely used in physics, astronomy, and chemistry to handle extremes in scale. Proficiency with scientific notation is crucial in data science, engineering, and daily tasks like reading a phone’s internal storage capacity or analyzing financial statements.
