About Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a method to express very large or very small numbers in a compact form. It represents numbers as a product of a decimal number (called the coefficient) and a power of ten.
For example, 3.5 × 10⁴ is the scientific notation for 35000.
This notation makes it easier to handle extremely large or tiny numbers common in scientific fields.
