Scientific notation rules
- The first number is at least 1 and less than 10. The base is always 10.
- The exponent is how many places the decimal point moved.
- Numbers bigger than 1 have a positive exponent: 45,000 = 4.5 × 104
- Numbers less than 1 have a negative exponent: 0.0062 = 6.2 × 10−3
- Back to standard notation: a positive exponent moves the decimal point right, a negative one moves it left. Fill empty places with zeros.
