Working with big numbers


Scientists often have to work with big numbers.
Example: The distance the earth travels in one orbit
is 558 000 000 miles.
We can express this number in a more concise form
as follows.
558 000 000 = 5.58 x 100 000 000 = 5.58 x 108
5.58 x 108 is said to be in Standard Form
or

negative whole number

Consider the number

the power is a positive or


negative whole number

This number is in standard form but


is different from previous examples.
Notice the power is negative
