Scientific Notation
When numbers are very large, they can be hard to
read and use in math problems. Such numbers are
easier to manage when they are written in scientific
notation.
For example, 3,800 is written as 3.8 3 103 in
scientific notation.
Example 1
Write 1.287 3 1010 in standard form.
The exponent tells you how many places to move
the decimal point to the right. Add zeros to the
end of the number until you get to the decimal
point.
1.2870000000
Add commas in the correct places to write the
number in standard form.
1.287 3 1010 5 12,870,000,000
The Rainwater Observatory
and Planetarium is in French
Camp, Mississippi. When
scientists study the large
distances between objects
in space, they often express
numbers in scientific notation.

Scientific notation is a way to write large numbers
using exponents and powers of 10. In scientific
notation, a number is expressed as the product of a
factor and a power of 10. The factor must be greater
than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

Write each number in
scientific notation.
C 295 3 106 D 2.95 3 108
A: 71,000
Move the decimal point so that only one digit is to
the left of the decimal. Remember, the factor
needs to be greater than or equal to 1 and less
than 10.
B: 49,000,000
295,000,000.
Count the number of decimal places that the
decimal point was moved. This tells you how
many powers of 10 you will need.
2.95000000
Write the factor without any zeros on the end.
Multiply by the correct power of 10.
2.95 3 108
Choice D is the correct answer.

Example 3
The 2006 U.S. Census Bureau estimated the
population of New York to be more than
19.3 million people. Write 19.3 million in
scientific notation.
Build A Bridge 3
Write 214.5 million in
scientific notation.
First, write 19.3 million in standard form.
19.3 million is written 19,300,000.
Write the factor as a decimal greater than or
equal to 1 and less than 10. Then, write the power
of 10 the decimal point moved.
The factor is 1.93. The decimal moved 7 places.
So the power of 10 is written as 107.
19.3 million is 1.93 3 107 in scientific notation.
