Scientific Notation is basically turning any number into a single 1s digit with a bunch of decimal numbers following it.

Your number, 3.331 x 10^6, is another way of saying 3.331 x 1000000, or 3,331,000.

To convert regular numbers to scientific notation, you move the decimal point so that you have a ones digit only. Moving the decimal right signifies 10^-1 power, moving it left is 10^1 power. For each space you move the decimal, you increment the power (10^1, 10^2, 10^3, etc.).

So, .0505, moving the decimal 2 spaces right means your answer will be 5.05 x 10^-2.

98,856 can be written as 98,856.0, move the decimal 4 places to the left, and you get 9.8856 x 10^4.

Hope this helps.

3.331 x 10 to the sixth power equals (3,331,000)

0.0505= 5.05 x 10 the the negative 2 power

98,856= ( 9.8856 x 10 to the 4 power)

your suppose to move decimal according to the exponent,if its positive move the deciamal right, if decimal negative move decimal left

the number before the decimal in a scietific notation cannot be higher than 9,

hope this helps
