A number is written in scientific notation when a number between 1 and 10 is multiplied by a power of 10.

This means we want to rewrite our number as


16,448=1.6448*10^n

To find the corresponding power of 10, we divide the original number by the scientific notation version(without the power of 10).


(16,448)/(1.6448)=10,000=10*10*10*10=10^4

Then, rewritting our number in scientific notation, we have


16,448=1.6448*10^4

The correct answer is option C.
