The scientific notation calculator converts the given regular number to scientific notation.

A regular number is converted to scientific notation by moving the decimal point such that there will be only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent of 10.

If you move the decimal point to the left, the exponent of 10 will be positive. If you move decimal point to the right, the exponent of 10 will be negative.
