The general form of represented of a number in scientific notation is,


a*10^n

Here, the required conditions are,


\begin{gathered} 1\leq a<10 \\ n\in N \end{gathered}

Note that N represents the set of all possible natural numbers.

Consider the given numbers and match them with the above form.

Clearly, the rightmost number in the given image is in the proper form of the scientific notation,


8.98*10^6

Here, 'a' is 8.98 and 'n' is 6.

Both the values satisfy the required conditions.

Therefore, it can be concluded that out of all the given numbers, the number represented in scientific notation is,


8.98*10^6
