Scientific notation is a short hand for writing large numbers.
4,000,000,000 would be written as 4x10%5E9 where 9 is the number of zeros after the 4 in your number.
Similarly,
+4=4x10%5E0
40=4x10%5E1
400=4x10%5E2
4000=4x10%5E3
40000=4x10%5E4
400000=4x10%5E5
4000000=4x10%5E6
40000000=4x10%5E7
400000000=4x10%5E8
