By definition, Scientific Notation has the following form:


b\cdot10^n

Where the coefficient "b" is a number from 1 to 10 (but not including 10) and the exponent "n" is an Integer.

Standard notation is the form you usually use to write numbers.

You can identify that the following number is written in Scientific Notation:


6.1\cdot10^3

The positive exponent 3 indicates that, in order to write it in Standard notation, you need to move the decimal point three places to the right. Then, this is:


=6100

The answer is:


6100
