Do you prefer calculating in scientific notation or standard notation? Why?

Make sure you explain your reasoning for full credit.

Answer:

This is about your opinion, not mine, but here's my opinion.

Don't copy and paste because anything can be found with good filters.

Essentially, just paraphrase or something.

Explanation:

I prefer standard notation when calculating with small digits under 6 zeros because it is more visually simpler to view. When a number is involved with more digits, I prefer scientific notation because it is unlikely that I will lose track of how many digits there are.

I prefer calculating in scientific notation because it simplifies number that otherwise would be extremely large causing lots of confusion
