   When a real number like .007 is denoted alternatively by 7.0 × 10 —3 then it is said that the number is represented in scientific notation.More generally, to write a number in the form a × 10 b, where 1 <= a < 10 and b is an integer, is to express it in scientific notation, and a is called the significand or the mantissa, and b is its exponent.

   To represent the number 1,230,400 in normalized scientific notation, the decimal separator would be moved 6 digits to the left and × 10 6 appended, resulting in 1.2304 × 10 6. The number −0.004 0321 would have its decimal separator shifted 3 digits to the right instead of the left and yield −4.0321 × 10 −3 as a result.

   [5] Scientific notation (for example 1 × 10 10), or its engineering notation variant (for example 10 × 10 9), or the computing variant E notation (for example 1e10). This is the most common practice among scientists and mathematicians. SI metric prefixes. For example, giga for 10 9 and tera for 10 12 can give gigawatt (10 9 W) and terawatt ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_number

   Graham's number is an immense number that arose as an upper bound on the answer of a problem in the mathematical field of Ramsey theory.It is much larger than many other large numbers such as Skewes's number and Moser's number, both of which are in turn much larger than a googolplex.
