    Standard Form is useful for two reasons:
    1. It allows us to write really small or really big numbers concisely...
    2. It allows us to compare small and big numbers.
    Which is bigger?!  Which is bigger? 

    Converting from Standard Form
    We just consider how many times we’re multiplying or dividing by 10.

    6 x 10-3 when we have a
    negative index.
