We are given the following number
We want to write it in scientific notation
How to convert to scientific notation:
1. Move the decimal point to the left until a single digit is left (which means stop after 3)
2. Count the number of times you moved the decimal point (that's your exponent the power of 10)
3. Finally write it in the standard format
The number in the scientific notation is
We moved the decimal point to the left (3 times) until only a single digit is left.
The exponent is 3 (power of 10)
The exponent is positive when we move to the left.
The exponent is negative when we move to the right.
