Work Step by Step
When converting a number from decimal notation to scientific notation, move the decimal point over to the left or right to get a number between 1 and 10. That number is multiplied by 10 to a power that is based on the direction of the decimal movement. If you have to move the decimal point to the right to get a number in scientific notation, the exponent on the base power of 10 will be negative. If you have to move the decimal point to the left to get a number in scientific notation, the exponent on the base power of 10 will be positive.
