ABSTRACT
Scientific notation is written like this: a x lOb, where a can be any number, and b indicates a power of ten For example, 1 x 103 = 1 x 10 X 10 X 10 = 1000. Therefore, 2 kilowatts may be expressed in scientific notation as 2 X 103 watts. In this example, the number "3" is the exponent and "2" is the coefficient.
