10ⁿ Power-of-ten scale factor number
  • Move the decimal point until one non-zero digit remains to the left, producing the coefficient a.
  • Count how many places the point moved; that count is exponent n (left movement positive, right movement negative).
  • To convert back, multiply a by 10 raised to exponent n.
Example

Worked example: 0.000456

  1. 1 Move decimal 4 places right to get coefficient 4.56.
  2. 2 Because the decimal moved right, exponent is negative: n = -4.
  3. 3 Write number as 4.56 × 10⁻⁴.

0.000456 = 4.56 × 10⁻⁴.

How
  1. Open COMP mode and tap the LCD expression line to place the cursor like a touch screen.
  2. Use keypad keys for expression input, mode controls, memory actions, and equation/table/base workflows.
  3. Use SCI utility for direct decimal/scientific conversion and copy-ready helper output when needed.
Avoid
  • Using a coefficient outside the normalized range (|a| must be at least 1 and less than 10 except for zero).
  • Reversing the sign of the exponent when moving between decimal and scientific forms.
  • Treating significant digits as decimal places, which changes intended precision.
