A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.
Scientific notation is helpful when dealing with really large numbers with a lot of zeroes because you can express them with smaller numbers, and it looks a lot more simple. It's just a different way to express numbers.
Here's an example : Let's say someone asked me to put the number
650,000,000 into scientific notation.
That would be 6.5 ✕ 10^8
