Frequently numbers that occur in physics and other sciences are either very large or very small. ... To write the above numbers in scientific notation we can proceed as follows: 1) 300,000,000 ÷ 3.00 = 100,000,000 = 108 So we can write 300,000,000 = 3.00 x 100,000,000 = 3.00 x 108. The speed of light is 3.00 x 108 m/s.
