Question 1

Why must the coefficient be between 1 and 10?

Accepted Answer

That normalization keeps scientific notation unique and makes exponent meaning consistent across conversions.

Question 2

How do negative exponents work?

Accepted Answer

A negative exponent moves the decimal point to the left, producing small numbers.

Question 3

Does this support zero?

Accepted Answer

Zero is a special case because any coefficient/exponent form can represent it in theory. Tools usually return 0 directly.
