2,340,000 in scientific notation is 2.34 * 10^6/2.34 x 10^6
( "^" means exponent, it’s the exponent sign).


Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always in the format of a • 10^b. We take the number and move a decimal point to the right one position, so it becomes 2.340000 instead of 2,340,000.
After that, just count the numbers after the decimal, which is six (340000).
Finally, we just remove the zeroes and plug it into the scientific notation format= a • 10^b and get 2.34 • 10^6.
