Here is how the number 76,504,000,000 is converted into scientific notation:

• Write the number in its full form: 76,504,000,000
• Move the decimal point 10 places to the left (between the 7 and 6): 7.6504
• Since we moved the decimal point 10 places, we multiply by 10 raised to the power of 10: 7.6504 × 10¹⁰

Thus, the number 76,504,000,000 expressed in scientific notation is 7.6504 × 10¹⁰.
