Question

How do you write 7,700,000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

7.7 ×
`10^(6)`

Explanation:

Start off with finding the digits in this case it would be 7,700,000

Now insert a decimal so that it is a number under 10.

That would be 7.7

to figure out what the exponent would be you have to count how many "jumps" the decimal takes to get back to the original number.

It would take 6 "jumps" to end up back to 7,700,000

Now that we have that information we can make the scientific notation

1) Take the number (7.7)

2) Multiply the number by 10 with the exponent of "jumps"

Thus,

7.7 ×
`10^(6)`
