Yes, seamless conversions between metric (meters, kg) and imperial (feet, lbs) are supported.

No, all calculations execute 100% locally in your browser with zero data logging.

Yes, it provides reliable estimates for construction, crafting, science, and everyday math.

The calculator will display a friendly error prompt if non-numeric values are entered.

Calculated using standard mathematical and industry formulas.

Free online Scientific Notation Calculator calculator and unit conversion tool for everyday, engineering, and home projects.

Select 'Convert' to turn any number into scientific and engineering notation.
Select 'Arithmetic' to add, subtract, multiply, or divide two numbers already given as a × 10ᵇ.
Results are automatically expressed in normalised scientific notation.

Scientific notation conversion

x = a × 10ᵇ where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 · Multiplication: (a × 10ᵐ) × (b × 10ⁿ) = ab × 10ᵐ⁺ⁿ

a = mantissa (coefficient), b = exponent (order of magnitude).

1,234,567.89 → 1.2346 × 10⁶. Multiplication: (1.5 × 10⁶) × (2 × 10³) = 3.0 × 10⁹.

Scientific notation requires 1 ≤ |a| < 10 for the mantissa. In engineering notation, exponents are always multiples of 3.
Very large numbers (e.g. Avogadro's number 6.022 × 10²³) and very small ones (e.g. electron mass 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg) are standard applications.
Multiplying in scientific notation: (a × 10ᵐ)(b × 10ⁿ) = ab × 10ᵐ⁺ⁿ.
Adding/subtracting requires aligning exponents first before combining mantissas.

Scientific notation has mantissa 1 ≤ |a| < 10. Engineering notation keeps exponents as multiples of 3, matching SI prefixes (kilo, mega, giga).

Scientific calculators and programming languages often write 1.5e6 for 1.5 × 10⁶.
