Frequently Asked Questions

What is scientific notation?

Scientific notation expresses very large or very small numbers as a × 10^b, where 1 ≤ |a| < 10.

Are trailing zeros significant?

Trailing zeros are significant only if there is a decimal point. For example, 4500 has 2 significant figures, but 4500.0 has 5 significant figures.
