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).
