Question

what is scientific notation? explain in detail​

Answer 1

Answer:

a mathematical expression used to represent any decimal number as a number between one and ten raised to a specific power of ten (Ex.: 4.1 × 10 for 4.1, 4.1 × 10 for 41, 4.1 × 10 for 410, 4.1 × 10 for 0.41, 4.1 × 10 for 0.041): often used for approximate computations with very large or small numbers

scientific notation - Computer Definition

The display of numbers in floating point form. The number (mantissa) is always equal to or greater than one and less than 10, and the base is 10. For example, 2.345E6 is equivalent to 2,345,000. The number following E (exponent) represents the power to which the base should be raised (number of zeros following the decimal point).

It is a way of expressing any large, small or relatively small number into a form of

a.bcd......*10^X , where a,b,c,d .... are natural numbers and X is any integer if suitable condition.

This way of representing number is very useful as it helps in quickly recognising that how big or small a number is. In outer space or in microscopic world things are either very very tiny or enormously large. So, this way if representation deals good with it.
