Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a number to scientific notation, place or move the decimal point of a number until the coefficient of the number is greater than 1 and less than 10.
Record down the coefficient (a) and count the number of steps the decimal point was moved.
The number of steps moved (n) is taken as the exponent.
Moving the decimal point to the right gives a negative exponent, whereas moving the decimal point to the left makes a positive exponent.
for converting scitific to real number
Multiply the decimal number by 10 raised to the power indicated.
3.456 x 10^4 = 3.456 x 10,000 = 34560
3.456 x 10^-4 = 3.456 x .0001 = 0.0003456
