How to say a number written in scientific notation?
For example, 2.3 x 10^-45 two point three multiplied by ten raised to the power of negative forty-five
Is that correct? Is there a shorter way?
and what about this?: (2.3 x 10)^-45 two point three multiplied by ten raised to the power of negative forty-five
How can you differentiate it from the first example?

[nq:1]You don't bother, because no-one will remember it anyway. Just say "a large number", and give the technical details to them in writing.[/nq]
For sufficiently small values of "large".

It's actually a very small number, relatively speaking

I've begun to say it the way I enter it into my calculator: Two point three e-e-e minus 45. (By e-e-e, I mean the letter 'e' pronounced the usual way.)
