Question

Scientific notation is a good way to write what kinds of numbers?

Answer 1

Huge numbers that you would be far too lazy to write out all the zeroes for. It's really for convenience and readability.

For example...

6.0221413 xx 10^23 = 602214130000000000000000,

but we would much rather just write that in scientific notation. Who wants to count 16 zeroes?

Answer 2

Huge numbers that you would be far too lazy to write out all the zeroes for. It's really for convenience and readability.

For example...

$6.0221413 \times 10 {}^{23} \\ \\ = 602214130000000000000000$
