Program Plan Intro

E-notation:

A scientific notation displays a numeric value in an exponential notation.

  • The exponential notation is represented by “E”.
  • E-notation replaces a part of a number with “E + n”, “E” multiples the previous number by “10” to the “nth” power.
  • The notation “E” is the power of “n”.

Example to represent the E-notation:

Consider the number “64392.86”.

Step1: Convert a number given to the scientific notation.

In scientific format, a number “64392.86” is represented as 6.439286×104 , where 104 is equal to “10000” and “ 6.439286×10000 ” is equal to “64392.86”. Here, the first part, “6.439286” is represented as “mantissa” and “mantissa” is multiplied by the power of “10”.

Step 2: Convert the scientific format to E-notation.

The number “ 6.439286×104 ” is represented in E-notation as “6.439286E4”, where “E” is the power of “10”.
