WHAT IS
SCIENTIFIC
NOTATION?
The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is approximately 284,000
miles.
Example 1
Write this number in scientific notation: ______________________________

The 2004 Indonesian earthquake slowed the rotation of the Earth,


making the length of a day 0.00000268 seconds shorter.
Example 2
Write this number in scientific notation: ______________________________

Write the following numbers in scientific notation:


Practice!
1. 75,000,000 = _________________ 2. 0.00852 = _________________

3. 208 = _________________ 4. 0.04 = _________________

5. 907,000 = _________________ 6. 0.0000061 = _________________

Write the following numbers in standard form:

7. 2.54 x 102 = _________________ 8. 6.7 x 10-2 = ________________

9. 9.1 x 105 = _________________ 10. 5.88 x 10-4 = ________________

11. 1.14 x 103 = _________________ 12. 3.8 x 10-1 = ________________

Step 1: Make sure exponents are the same! Use ___________


Adding & (left add, right subtract) to shift the decimal and change
the exponent if needed.
Subtracting
Step 2: Add/Subtract the numbers. Keep the common exponent.
13. (3.4 × 10 2 ) + (5.2 × 10 2 ) 14. (9.5 × 107 ) + (1.1 × 106 )

15. (7.24 × 10 −4 ) + (3.18 × 10 −5 ) 16. (6.8 × 10 −3 ) + (2.7 × 10 −2 )

17. (2.5 × 10 8 ) + (4.2 × 106 ) 18. (1.8 × 10 −1 ) + (7.3 × 10 −3 )

19. (8.17 × 10 4 ) − (2.6 × 10 4 ) 20. (7.59 × 10 −2 ) − (2.32 × 10 −2 )

21. (5 × 1012 ) − (9 × 1011 ) 22. (4.2 × 10 −4 ) − (6.8 × 10 −5 )

23. (2.8 × 101 ) − (8.4 × 10 −1 ) 24. (5.3 × 105 ) − (2.7 × 103 )

Step 1: Multiply/Divide the numbers.


Multiplying Step 2: Use the product rule or quotient rule to change the exponent.
& Dividing Step 3: Use _________ to adjust the decimal and exponent in the final
answer if needed.
25. (2.8 × 107 ) × (1.9 × 10 4 ) 26. (1.3 × 10 9 ) × (4.7 × 10 −5 )

27. (3.4 × 10 −2 ) × (8.5 × 106 ) 28. (9.8 × 10 −24 ) × (7.5 × 1027 )

29. (3.72 × 10 8 ) ÷ (1.2 × 105 ) 30. (6.4 × 10 −4 ) ÷ (4.0 × 10 6 )

−5 6
(1.2 × 10 ) (2.0 × 10 )
31. −6
32. −7
(5 × 10 ) (3.2 × 10 )
