Question

How do you order scientific notation from greatest to least?

Answer 1

if we are doing base 10, that is when things are multiplied by 10 and some exponent, it will be be greater when the exponent is higher and when it is positive; it will be smaller when the exponent is negative and higher value.
let me show you an example

between
A) 1.25 x 10^3 and B) 1.25 x 10^5
B is bigger

between
C) 1.25 x 10^-3 and D) 1.25 x 10^-5
D is smaller

Answer 2

what if I have numbers with the same exponent?
EX. 9.3x10^7 and 3.62x10^7

Answer 3

if you have the same exponent, then whatever coeffficient is bigger

in the case of

A) 2.35 x 10^7 and B) 5.25 x 10^7
B is bigger

Answer 4

basically the parts of the scientific notation includes coefficient, base and exponent or power

in the previous example
2.35 and 5.25 are the coefficients
10 would be the base
7 is the exponent

Answer 5

ok thanks! :)
