Use size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g use kilometers per year for sea floor apeading.) intercept scientific notation that has been generated by technology

Scientific Notation is EASY.

Just move the decimal to the right if it is positive:

6.2 x 10¹ = 62

6.2 x 10² = 620

6.2 x 10³ = 6,200

6.2 x 10⁴ = 62,000

6.2 x 10⁵ = 620,000

6.2 x 10⁶ = 6,200,000

Move the decimal to the left if it is negative:

6.2 x 10⁻¹ .62

6.2 x 10⁻² = .062

6.2 x 10⁻³ = .0062

6.2 x 10⁻⁴ = .00062

6.2 x 10⁻⁵ = .000062

6.2 x 10⁻⁶ = .0000062

What about about 6.2 x 10⁰?

6.2 It wouldn't change location.

I hope this helps!
