Scientific notation is used to represent numbers that are loo
large or too small to fit in the display. For example, if you
enter the number 10,000,000 0 10,000,000 0, the result
is 1.00E14, which means “one times ten to the fourteenth
power” or “1.00 with the decimal point moved fourteen
places to the right.” You can enter this number by pressing
14. The E stands for “exponent of ten.”
Exponents can also be negative for very small numbers. The number
0.000000000004 is displayed as 4.00E-12, which means “four times ten to
the
negative
twelfth power” or “4.0 with the decimal point moved 12
places to the left.” You can enter this number by pressing 4
