Calculator Use

Convert a number to and from scientific notation, east annotation, engineering notation, standard form, and existent numbers. Enter a number or a decimal number or scientific notation and the calculator converts to scientific notation, eastward notation, engineering science note, standard course and word form formats.

To enter a number in scientific note use a carat ^ to bespeak the powers of ten. Y'all can also enter numbers in e note. Examples: 3.45 x 10^5 or 3.45e5.

Order of magnitude will also be identified for the calculated standard class. The gild of magnitude when written in standard class, is the nth power of 10. For example, 3.4 x x^5 has an club of magnitude of 5 since 10 is raised to the 5th power.

How to Catechumen a Number to Scientific Note

The proper format for scientific note is a 10 ten^b where a is a number or decimal number such that the absolute value of a is greater than or equal to one and less than ten or, one ≤ |a| < 10. b is the power of 10 required so that the scientific notation is mathematically equivalent to the original number.

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-nothing digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.
Count how many places you lot moved the decimal point. This number is b.
If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.
If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.
If you did not demand to move the decimal b = 0.
Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."
Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal bespeak.

Example: Convert 357,096 to Scientific Notation

Move the decimal five places to the left to get 3.57096
a = 3.57096
Nosotros moved the decimal to the left so b is positive
b = v
The number 357,096 converted to scientific note is 3.57096 ten 10^five

Case: Convert 0.005600 to Scientific Notation

Move the decimal 3 places to the correct and remove leading zeros to go v.600
a = 5.600
We moved the decimal to the correct then b is negative
b = -iii
The number 0.005600 converted to scientific note is 5.600 10 ten^-3
Notation that we practise not remove the trailing 0'south because they were originally to the right of the decimal and are therefore significant figures.

E annotation is basically the same as scientific notation except that the alphabetic character e is substituted for "x ten^".

Convert Scientific Notation to a Real Number

Multiply the decimal number past 10 raised to the power indicated.

3.456 x ten^iv = three.456 x 10,000 = 34560

3.456 x 10^-four = iii.456 x .0001 = 0.0003456
