This animation demonstrates how to multiply and divide numbers written in scientific notation by separating the coefficient and exponent parts. It shows multiplying or dividing the coefficients together, then adding or subtracting the exponents of ten, with a final step to adjust the result so the coefficient stays between 1 and 10. Useful for 7th grade students learning to work with very large or very small numbers efficiently.
