Here we will show you how to convert 0.0000035 to scientific notation with steps. All the numbers in scientific notation written in the form a × 10b, where b is an integer and the coefficient a is a non-zero real number between 1 and 10 in absolute value.

To convert 0.0000035 into scientific notation also known as standard form, follow these steps:

Move the decimal 6 times to the right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 3.5, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10

Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative

n = -6

Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n

= 3.5 × 10-6

Therefore, 0.0000035 in scientific notation is 3.5 × 10-6 and It has 2 significant figures. In scientific e-notation, it is written as 3.5e-6.
