How It Works
Choose a guide and type a value. The explanation is rebuilt from that value, so the same steps you see are the steps for your example.
Formula & Logic Explanation
Scientific notation: n = m × 10^e, with 1 ≤ |m| < 10.
A fraction a/b becomes the decimal a ÷ b and the percent (a × 100) ÷ b.
A power of ten, 10^e, moves the decimal point e places.
Step-by-Step Examples
6.022e23 is already 6.022 × 10^23.
3/4 = 0.75 = 75%.
10^2 = 100 and 10^3 = 1000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Scientific notation writes a number as a coefficient times a power of ten. The coefficient is at least 1 and less than 10. 6.022 × 10^23 is the scientific notation for Avogadro’s number.
Choose Fraction to percent and enter a fraction such as 3/4. The guide divides the numerator by the denominator and multiplies by 100.
