Calculate Scientific Notation
Move the decimal point until the coefficient is between 1 and 10, then use the number of places moved as the exponent.
Formula: x = a Γ 10^n, where 1 β€ |a| < 10
Preserve the order of the inputs and the notation used by the formula. Negative signs, powers, decimal places, and zero values can materially change a mathematical result.
Check a small example by hand and compare it with the calculator output. Substitution is especially useful for equations and algebraic results.
