What are the advantages of using exponential notation?

Asked by geisbrecht57

Answer (2)

The major advantage of exponential notation is that it simplifies a number into a more readable form, so we don't have to count all the zeros every time we look at it / calculate it. It helps us to identify big numbers as small decimals which we are more familiar with.
