Scientific notation is a method of counting.

When we want to mark or operate a larger or smaller number with more digits, scientific notation saves a lot of space and time. [1]

Scientific notation is a method of counting. A number is expressed in the form of a multiplied by the n-th power of 10 (1 ≤ | a |<10, a is not a fractional form, and n is an integer). This notation is called Scientific notation. [2] For example: 19971400000000=1.99714 × 10 ^ 13. Calculators or computers usually use E or e to express the power of 10, that is, 1.99714E13=19971400000000.

When we want to mark or operate on a larger or smaller number of digits, scientific notation saves a lot of space and time. [1]

form

The form of scientific notation consists of the product of two numbers. Expressed as a×10^b aEb
One of the factors is a (1 ≤ | a |<10), the other factor is 10^n

convenient

When using scientific notation to express numbers, the symbols of numbers are not changed, but the writing form of numbers is changed. It can conveniently express some large or small numbers encountered in daily life [3] For example, the speed of light is about 300000000 m/s; The world population is about 8000000000 [5] .
This kind of number is inconvenient to read and write. We can avoid writing so many repeated zeros in the form of 6100000000=6.1 × 10 ^ 9,
Or: 0.00001=1 × 10 ^ - 5, that is, the number whose absolute value is less than 1 can also be expressed in the form of a times 10 to the negative nth power by scientific notation.

Notation

If | x |>1, it is recorded as
In the form of,
The value of is determined by
If m is the number of digits of x, then
,
If | x |<1, then
,
, where m is the digit of x, and m ₁ is the significant digit of x.

accuracy

Using scientific notation a×10^n Its accuracy is based on the position of the last number of a in the original number.
For example:
13600, accurate to ten digits, recorded as: 1.360X10 ^ 4
13200, accurate to hundreds, recorded as: 1.32X10 ^ 4
322000, accurate to thousands, recorded as 3.22X10 ^ 5

Excel Set scientific notation format in
stay Microsoft Excel The software can Numerical data Set to scientific notation format. Take Excel 2010 as an example to introduce the setting method:
Step 1: Open the Excel 2010 worksheet window, and select the cell for which you want to set the scientific count format. Right click the selected cell, and select Set Cell Format from the shortcut menu.
Step 2: Switch to the Number tab in the Excel 2010 Format Cells dialog box that opens. Select the Scientific Count option in the Classification list, and set the number of decimal places in the Scale spinner on the right. Click OK after setting. [4]
