0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}

Explanation:

To write down correctly the number 0,00123 in scientific notation, you take into account that the scientific notation demands that there in only one number after the comma ( , ). Furthermore, it is necessary that you move the comma to the right of the first number different of zero, in this case the number 1. To do this you move the comma three positions.

Then, you have to multiply the expresion 1.23 by 10 with an exponential -3 (because of the movement of the comma in three positions). That is:

0,00123 = 1,23*10^{-3}

But it is mandatory that nly one number can stay after the comma, so, you approximate the number three. In this case, the number is lower than 5, hence, you approximate 3 to 0.

Finally, you have:

0,00123 = 1,2*10^{-3}
