Re: Ugh scientific notation.

10 to the minus two is 1 / 100.

Re: Ugh scientific notation.

To divide 3.785 by 100 you move the decimal two places to the left.

Re: Ugh scientific notation.

I have warned about saying that over and over. Sometimes if you wish for something it happens.

Re: Ugh scientific notation.
