Write 52,640 in scientific notation. Please​

Answer 1

5.264×10^4

Explanation:

10^4 = 10,000 x 5.264 = 52,640

Answer 2

5.264 * 10^4

Explanation:

We put a decimal point to the right of the number, so

52640.

Then we move it to the left until we get a number that is between 1 and 10.

5.2640

This was four hops to the left.

We can remove the trailing 0, and write

5.264 * 10^4

10^4 because of the four hops
