=== Exponential === Conversion between different scientific notation representations of the same number with different exponential values is achieved by performing opposite operations of multiplication or division by a power of ten on the significand and an subtraction or addition of one on the exponent part. The decimal separator in the significand is shifted ''x'' places to the left (or right) and ''x'' is added to (or subtracted from) the exponent, as shown below. {{block indent | em = 1.5 | text = {{val|1.234E3}} = {{val|12.34E2}} = {{val|123.4E1}} = 1234}}
