To convert from scientific notion to regular number, take the number before the E (E stands for exponent) and multiply it by 10 to raised to the power after the + or – sign. For example 3.4E+38, you would do the following arithmetic.
1.4 X 10 power 38
Note
Scientic notation provides a shortcut way of representing a range of numbers, but you lose some accuracy when you use because it does not allow for an extended amount of accuracy.
