Alison asked the following: "What does 3.84E+4 mean when written down?" Thank you for this, Alison! This is a common problem, as some calculators or computer programs (e.g. Excel) display standard form in this way. The E+4 (also sometimes displayed E+04) means ×104, so in this case: 3.84E+4 = 3.84×104
