Scientific Notation 9.5
Scientific Notation Numbers that do not contain exponents are written in standard form. However, when you deal with very large numbers like 12,760,000 or very small numbers like 0.00001276 it can be difficult to keep track of the place value. A number that is expressed as a product of a factor and a power of 10 is written in scientific notation.
