Exponential Notation Calculator

Your details

Convert mode turns one number into all notation forms. Arithmetic mode operates on two numbers already in any notation.
Enter a decimal, E notation (5.2e-5), or scientific notation value.
How many significant figures to keep in the coefficient.
Scientific notation
5.20 x 10^-5

a x 10^n where 1 <= |a| < 10

E notation5.20E-5
Engineering notation52.00000000 x 10^-6
SI prefixmicro (u)
Decimal form0.000052
Coefficient (a)5.2
Exponent (n)-5
Coefficient (a)5.2
Exponent (n)-5

Result in scientific notation: 5.20 x 10^-5

  • The negative exponent -5 means the number is very small, only 1e-5 in decimal.
  • The engineering exponent corresponds to the SI prefix micro (u), useful for labeling measurements and graphs.

Next stepSwitch to Arithmetic mode to add, subtract, multiply or divide two numbers while keeping them in exponential form.
