Alberto added two very small numbers using a calculator the calculator displayed the number 6.13E - 14 what is this number in scientific nation?
The number 6.13E-14, expressed in scientific notation, is written as 6.13 × 10^-14.
The number 6.13E-14 is already written in scientific notation. "E" represents "times 10 to the power of", so 6.13E-14 can be expressed as 6.13 times 10 raised to the power of -14.
To convert 6.13E-14 to scientific notation, you can rearrange the number so that it is written in the form of "a x 10^b", where "a" is a decimal number between 1 and 10, and "b" is an integer.
1. Start with the given number: 6.13E-14.
2. To convert it to decimal form, move the decimal point 14 places to the left because the exponent (-14) is negative. This gives you 0.0000000000000613.
3. Since the decimal number is less than 1, we have to move the decimal point to the right until it is between 1 and 10. Count the number of places you move the decimal point. In this case, you move it 14 places to the right, which results in 6.13.
4. Now, rewrite the number in scientific notation form: 6.13 x 10^-14.
Therefore, the number 6.13E-14 is equivalent to 6.13 x 10^-14 in scientific notation.
