Given the value:

0.002002

Change to scientific notation.

Solution:

In order to change a number in standard form to scientific notation, simply count the number of zeros excluding the zeros between non zeros, and the first non-zero digit. The given number has a total of 2 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is -3. The non-zero number  and zeros between non-zero excluding the 1st digit will be written in decimal point.

= 2.002 x 10^-3

Final answer:
= 2.002 x 10^-3
