Answer:

stands for exponent of 10

Explanation:

On a calculator display, E (or e) stands for exponent of 10, and it's always followed by another number, which is the value of the exponent. For example, a calculator would show the number 2.5 trillion as either 2.5E12 or 2.5e12. In other words, E (or e) is a short form for scientific notation
