Convert a number among scientific, E, engineering, and real-number notation, or calculate with two coefficient-and-exponent values. All seven operations from calculator.net are included as modes.

Formula

Scientific notation writes a nonzero number as b × 10^n, normally with 1 ≤ |b| < 10. Engineering notation instead requires n to be a multiple of 3.

Examples

Convert 1,568,938

The scientific and E forms are 1.568938 × 10⁶ and 1.568938e6.

Add the default X and Y

1.23 × 10⁷ + 3.45 × 10² = 1.2300345 × 10⁷, or 12,300,345.

Frequently asked questions

What formats does the converter accept?
It accepts ordinary decimals, E-notation such as 2.3e11, and forms such as 3.5x10^-12.
What is engineering notation?
It is scientific notation with an exponent restricted to a multiple of three, aligning values with SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, and micro.
Which operations are available?
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, X raised to Y, square root of X, and X squared are each available as a calculation mode.
What does E-notation mean?
The E replaces times ten to a power. For example, 1.5e6 means 1.5 times 10 to the sixth power.
