Scientific notation is an implementation of floating-point representation for representing approximations to (usually large) numbers by presenting them in the form:

$n \approx m \times 10^e$

where:

$m$ is a rational number such that $1 \le m < 10$, expressed in decimal notation

$e$ is an integer.
