Scientific notation is a mathematical method used to express very large or very small numbers in a more compact and manageable form. It takes the general form of: \\\[ a \\times 10^n \\\] where: - \\( a \\) is a coefficient that is typically a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 (1 ≤ \\( a \\) \< 10).
