... the form a * 10 n, where a has one digit in front of the decimal point and that digit is nonzero. To write a number in scientific notation, move the decimal point to follow the first nonzero digit. If the decimal point has been moved n places to the left, the exponent on 10 is n. If the decimal poin ...
