Write this number in scientific notation:
673,402.159
Solution
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When you write a number in scientific notation, you're going to get something that looks like this: number (n) x 10n.
Three things to keep in mind with this:
1. When you write the number (n), it should always be greater than one but less than ten.
2. Make sure you count the number of places you move the decimal point, because that will give you the exponent.
3. Keep all the digits. It really does make a difference.
The correct answer: 6.73402159 x 10 to the 5th power.
