    Scientific notation was developed to express very large and very small numbers in a standardized format. It represents a number as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. For example, 1.85 x 10^2 represents 185. The document provides examples of numbers written in scientific notation and explains the format. It also discusses significant figures, which are the digits in a number that carry meaning contributing to its precision and accuracy. The rules for determining significant figures in a number are described.

    SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

    Scientific Notation was developed to assist


    mathematicians ,scientists and others when expressing and
    working with very large and very small numbers . Scientific
    notation follows a very specific format in which a number is
    expressed as the product of a number greater than or equal to
    one and less than ten ,and a power of 10. The format of N x In
    this form ,( N ) is a numeral coefficient ,while (n) is the power
    of 10 . The n indicates the number of times the coefficient is to
    multiplied or divided by 10.
    Examples :
    1. one mole of an element consist of 602 000 000
    000 000 000 000 000 atoms .
    2. The radius of a hydrogen atom is 0.000 000 000
    079 meters .
