A number is in scientific notation if it is written as a decimal multiplied by some power of 10, where the decimal has exactly one digit in front of the decimal place. For example:

\n

\\[1.234\\times 10^6, \\quad \\text{and} \\quad 3.01\\times 10^{-3}\\]

\n

are both in scientific notation.

Recall that multiplying by powers of 10 moves the decimal point, for example multiplying a number by $10^\\var{pow1}$ (which is the same as multiplying by $\\var{10^pow1}$) moves the decimal point $\\var{pow1}$ places to make the number bigger (the decimal point moves to the right). In particular:

\n

\\[\\var{dec1}\\times 10^\\var{pow1}= \\var{q1}\\]

\n

Note there is a decimal point after the last zero that we do not write simply because there is no reason to.
