Answer: 983,700,000
=========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The uppercase E represents "ten to the"
So saying E8 means "ten to the 8th power"
In other words, 9.837 E 8 = 9.837 * 10^8
The exponent positive 8 tells us to move the decimal point over to the right 8 spots.
So that's how we go from 9.837 * 10^8 to 983,700,000
There are 5 zeros in that value after the "9837" portion.
When we move from 9.837 to 9837.0, that's exactly 3 spots so far. Then the decimal point has to move another 5 spots to go from 9837.0 to 983,700,000 which is therefore 3+5 = 8 total shifts to the right.
The number 983,700,000 is slightly over 983 million. If anything, it's more closer to 984 million.
