Frequently asked questions
What is scientific notation?
A way to write numbers as a mantissa between 1 and 10 times a power of ten, e.g. 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ for 0.00045.
What is engineering notation?
Like scientific notation but the exponent is always a multiple of 3, which lines up with SI prefixes (kilo, milli, micro…).
What is E-notation?
The calculator/computer form of scientific notation, e.g. 4.5e-4 means 4.5 × 10⁻⁴.
Can I convert back to a plain decimal?
Yes — enter a value in scientific or E-notation and the standard decimal form is shown.
What is Scientific Notation Converter?
A scientific notation converter rewrites a number between standard decimal form and scientific notation (a × 10ⁿ), E-notation, and engineering notation.
