Scientific Notation Basics
Handle very large or small numbers
Scientific notation writes numbers as a×10^n to simplify calculations with very large or small values; operations adjust coefficients and exponents while keeping significant figures.

Form
Write as 1<=a<10 times 10^n; adjust exponent to shift decimal.
Operate
Add/subtract with same exponent; multiply/divide by adding/subtracting exponents.
Precision
Keep significant figures consistent with measurements.
