Explanation:

In scientific notation, a negative exponent indicates that the number is less than 1. For example, \(a\times10^{-n}\) (\(1\leqslant a<10\), \(n>0\)) represents a number less than 1. A number greater than 1 is represented as \(a\times 10^{n}\) (\(1\leqslant a<10\), \(n\geqslant0\)).

Answer:

Number less than 1
