precision of measurements.

Answer 1

Answer:

convenience in using the numbers.

Explanation:

Very small numbers have too many digits, similar to large numbers.

This numbers can take too much space and therefore cause inconvenience during recording or calculation.

To avoid this inconvenience, scientists use scientific notations in representation of this numbers.

Some examples of the notations are:

1. 10000 = 1 x 104
2. 1000 = 1 x 103
3. 100 = 1 x 102
4. 10 = 1 x 101
