How do you do scientific Notation with a decimal in the number?
Q. Like, if u were doing the scientific notation for 10057.2235, the answer would be 00572235 x 10^4. But how do you get the answer? and would there be a decimal in the number? please explain!
Asked by Tweety =] - Mon Sep 24 23:40:56 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. that would be 1.00572235 x10 4th you just move the decimal to the right of the first digit... count how many times you had to move the decimal over and that is what you put after 10... see how I did it? 4 to the left. If you had to move it to the right though lets say you had .000100572235 and you needed that in scientific notation it would be 1.00572235 x 10 -4 (notice the negative sign) This is ONLY when moving decimal places to the right... Hope that helped
