How to Write Scientific Notation from Standard Form?

  • Firstly Identify the first non-zero digit in the number.
  • Then count the number of places the decimal point needs to be moved so that only one non-zero digit is to the left of the decimal point.
  • If the decimal is moved to the right, the exponent is positive. If moved to the left, the exponent is negative.
  • Write the first non-zero digit and any other digits to the right of it as the coefficient.
  • Multiply the coefficient by `10` raised to the exponent.

Solved Example

Q. How do you write 603,000603,000 in scientific notation?\newline______×10______\_\_\_\_\_\_ \times 10^{\_\_\_\_\_\_}
Solution:
  1. Find Coefficient: What will be the coefficient when 603,000603,000 is written in scientific notation? Move the decimal to the left until the number is greater than or equal to 11 and less than 1010. Coefficient: 6.036.03
  2. Sign of Exponent: Would 603,000603,000 have a positive or negative exponent when written in scientific notation? 603,000603,000 is a number greater than 1010. It can be represented by a positive exponent.
  3. Determine Exponent: We know:
    The coefficient is 6.036.03.
    The exponent will be positive.
    What is the exponent when 603,000603,000 is written in scientific notation?
    We moved the decimal to the left 55 times to make the coefficient 6.036.03.
    603,000=6.03×105603,000 = 6.03\times 10^5
    Exponent: 55
  4. Write in Scientific Notation: We know the coefficient is 6.036.03 and the exponent is 55. Fill in the values to write 603,000603,000 in scientific notation. Substitute 6.036.03 for aa and 55 for bb in a×10ba \times 10^b. Scientific notation: 6.03×1056.03 \times 10^5

About Worksheet

Algebra 1
Scientific Notation

Writing scientific notation from standard form involves converting a number expressed in its full decimal form into a product of a coefficient and a power of ten (e.g., converting `35,000` to `3.5*10^4`). This process includes identifying the significant digits, placing the decimal point after the first significant digit, and determining the exponent by counting the number of places the decimal point has moved. The coefficient is then multiplied by `10` raised to the appropriate power.
