The number is 1960. When writing numbers in scientific notation, they are expressed in powers of 10.

Looking at 1960, if we place a decimal point between 1 and 9, the number of digits to the right of the decimal point is 3. This represents the power to which 10 would be raised. Since it is towards the right of the decimal point, it is positive.

Thus, the expression in scientific notation is

1.960 * 10^3
