Question

What is 56 million in scientific notation

Answer 1

to find the answer you need to write the number out 56,000,000. then count from the last zero to five. because a scientific notation number cant be more than one digit in front of the decimal point like this 5.6000000. then count the numbers behind the decimal point and use that number as the exponent for ten. so the answer is 5.6 X 10^7

Answer 2

`5.6x10^(7)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert a number to scientific notation, you have to just leave one number after the decimal point, and then count back the numbers that are there, in this case is:

56´000,000

As you can see there are six zeros and one six so that adds up to 7, now you just add the decimal point and multiply the number by
`10^(x)`, x being replaced by the number you just counted:

`5.6x10^(7)`

That´s how you convert a number to scientific notation.
