Standard notation: 14001400 (like it is in the question)
Scientific Notation: 1.41.4x10^3103

Explanation:

Standard Notation is the "normal" way of writing numbers. If you meant scientific notation ( a way to write large numbers in a more compressed form), this is how to do it

The rule is to have one digit before the decimal place (the first digit in your number), followed by any other non zero digits after the decimal, and any zeroes will be accounted for in the 10^n10n term.

In this case, we can write 14001400 as 1.41.4x10001000=1.41.4x10^3103

If you want to visualize it, thing about the exponent (here it's 3) as the amount of places you are moving to the left.
