The calculator tool used for writing a given number in Scientific Notation is called as Scientific notation calculator. Scientific notation means keeping the first digit of the given number intact and placing a decimal next to the other digits and multiplying the number with its appropriate number of 10's (written using exponents).
Example 1: Find the scientific notation of the given number 510000
The given number is a large number with 6 digits.
To change it into scientific notation, decimal is placed next to the first digit 5.
This means there are 5 decimal spaces on the left from the digit 5.
This makes the exponent of the 10 as 5.
Therefore 510000 can be written in scientific notation as 5.1 X 105.
Hence 510000 = 5.1 X 109
Example 2: Find the scientific notation of the given number 1250000000.
The given number is a large number with 10 digits.
To change it into scientific notation decimal is placed next to the first digit 1.
This means there are 9 decimal spaces on the left from the digit 1.
This makes the exponent of the 10 as 9.
Therefore 1250000000 can be written in scientific notation as 1.25 X 109.
Hence 1250000000 = 1.25 X 109.
