  2. 2 See it in scientific, E-notation, engineering and standard decimal forms.
  3. 3 Negative and very small/large numbers are handled.

Why use this tool

  • Convert between decimal, scientific, E-notation and engineering notation.
  • Works both ways — paste 4.5e-4 or 0.00045.
  • Runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What is scientific notation?

A way to write numbers as a mantissa between 1 and 10 times a power of ten, e.g. 4.5 × 10⁻⁴ for 0.00045.

What is engineering notation?

Like scientific notation but the exponent is always a multiple of 3, which lines up with SI prefixes (kilo, milli, micro…).

What is E-notation?

The calculator/computer form of scientific notation, e.g. 4.5e-4 means 4.5 × 10⁻⁴.

Can I convert back to a plain decimal?

Yes — enter a value in scientific or E-notation and the standard decimal form is shown.

What is Scientific Notation Converter?

A scientific notation converter rewrites a number between standard decimal form and scientific notation (a × 10ⁿ), E-notation, and engineering notation.

Features

Decimal ↔ scientific

Convert a plain number to m × 10ⁿ form and expand it back to decimal.
