Answer 1

In a scientific notation, you have to put a decimal right after the first number (unless it is a zero). How many times you move the decimal from its original spot determines the answer. (FYI: In a number like 196 the decimal point is 196.000<--here)

5.8927 (moved the decimal point 4 times, so the answer is --->) 5.8927×
