Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

We have to determine the number of places we will move the decimal point to write 41,200 in scientific Notation.

41200 can be expressed as


412 * 10^2 which is further expressed as


4.12 * 10^4

Therefore, we moved one place to the left of the number 41200 to write it in scientific notation.
