Explanation

Scientific notation represents any number in the form N×10nN \times 10^n, where NN varies between 1.000... and 9.999... and nn is an exponent. If the decimal is moved to the left, the exponent is positive. If the decimal is moved to the right, the exponent is negative. All significant figures are preserved in the digit term NN.
