For this case we have to:

By definition, the scientific notation is given by:


a * 10 ^ b

Where:

a: It is a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. It is called "mantissa".

b: It is the order of magnitude.

We have the following decimal number:

0.001742

Rewriting in scientific notation we have:


0.001742 = 1.742 * 10 ^( -3)

Answer:


1.742 * 10 ^( -3)
