Question

Which is the correct way to write 602, 200,000,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

scientific notation is
n times 10^x
where 1≤n<10 and x is the number of places the decimal place moved (if it moved to the right, x is negative, if it moved to the left, x is positive)


602, 200,000,000,000,000,000,000.0
we see we need to move decimal to the left 23 spaces to here
6.022 times 10^23

answer is
`6.022*10^(23)`
