How is a number put into scientific notation?
Move the decimal to the left or to the right so that there is ONLY one NONZERO digit before the decimal
If the decimal is moved to the right, the power (n) becomes more negative for every one unit that it is moved.
If the decimal is moved to the left, the power (n) becomes more positive for every unit that it is moved.
