Scientific Notation• Scientific notation is a way of writing very large
and very small numbers in a compact form.
• A number written in scientific notation is written in the form:
a × 10b
Where: a is a number greater than 1 and less than 9.99
b is an integer3

Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation
• Shift the decimal point so that there is one digit (which cannot be zero) before the decimal point.
• Multiply by a power of 10, equal to the number of places the decimal point has been moved.
• The power of 10 is positive if the decimal point is moved to the left and negative if the decimal point is moved to the right.

Scientific Notation: Example #2
99
Solution:
0.000628

Engineering Notation• Engineering notation is similar to scientific
notation. In engineering notation the powers of ten are always multiples of 3.
• A number written in engineering notation is written in the form:
a × 10b
Where: a is a number greater than 1 and
less than 999.
b is an integer multiple of three. 10

Writing A Number in Engineering Notation
• Shift the decimal point in “groups of three” until the number before the decimal point is between 0 and 999.
• Multiply by a power of 10 that is equal to the number of places the decimal point has been moved.
• The power of 10 is positive if the decimal point is moved to the left and negative if the decimal point is moved to the right.

SI Prefixes
• SI prefixes are a shorthand way of writing engineering notation for SI numbers.
• The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French Système International d'Unités) is the modern form of the metric system. It is the world's most widely used system of units for science and engineering.
