What is the process of Scientific Notation? It gets confusing between whole numbers and decimals. (Also, sorry about the tons of questions; been a while since I went on Jishka :P)

A number in scientific notation consists of a single digit followed by some decimal places times a power of 10.
e.g.
3.456 x (10^14)
if the exponent of 10 is positive, the number is "large"
if the exponent is negative you are looking at a small number.
to change a number in scientific notation to one in standard form, move the decimal place the same number of places as is the exponent.
If the exponent is positive, move it to the right,
if the exponent is negative, move it to the left.
