Answer:

Read explanation, you gotta know how

Explanation:

Step 1: What I do is pretty much find where you want the dot to be, which in this case is between the 2 and the 4.

Step 2: right now the dot is all the way to the right, so we gotta move it to the left.

Step 3: start moving the dot to where you want it to be (inbetween the 2 and the 4) and make sure to count how many times you move the dot Left, until you reach the point you want it to be.

step 4: now you have the dot where you want it to be, and you counted how many times you moved the do to get there (Should look like this now= 2.437) you dont need the zeros anymore because 2.43700000 is the same as 2.437.

Step 5: add the scientific notation thing which is (Number) x 10^ (the amount of times you moved the dot to the left)

Step 6: now you have the answer which is 2.347 x 10^8 (dont just skip all the explanation to do this, If you learn how you wont need to waste your points asking the same question again.)
