Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers that looks like the following:


a*10^n

  • a is any number between 1 and 10
  • n is any integer

For instance, we can write 2930 in scientific notation.

  1. First, move the decimal so that the number is between 1 and 10:
    ⇒ 2.93
  2. Notice how we moved the decimal 3 places to the left. This means n will be 3. (Note that when we move to the right, n would be negative.)
    ⇒ 2.93 × 10³

Solving the Question

First, write all the given values in scientific notation:


  1. 6.72*10^5
    6.72*10^5

  2. 67.2* 10^(-4)
    6.72* 10^(-3)

  3. 672* 10^4
    6.72* 10^6

  4. 0.000672
    6.72*10^(-4)

Now, let's compare the values of n, and organize the numbers from least to greatest:


6.72*10^(-4)


6.72* 10^(-3)


6.72*10^5


6.72* 10^6

Finally, rewrite all the numbers as their given format:


0.000672


67.2* 10^(-4)


6.72*10^5


672* 10^4

Answer


0.000672


67.2* 10^(-4)


6.72*10^5


672* 10^4
