FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is normalized scientific notation?

A form where the coefficient is at least 1 and less than 10, multiplied by a power of ten, such as 3.2 × 10⁴.

Can it handle negative exponents?

Yes. Small numbers get negative exponents, and negative exponents expand back to decimals.
