In scientific notation, numbers are expressed as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. In this case, the decimal number is 1 and the power of 10 is 22. Therefore, the number can be written as 1 x 10^22, which is a common form used in scientific calculations and representing very large or very small numbers.

Since this is a multiplication problem involving large numbers, it would be more appropriate to use a scientific calculator, which is designed to handle complex calculations and display the result in scientific notation if necessary. A standard calculator may not have the capability to accurately calculate and display the result for this type of calculation.
