The steps to multiply two numbers that are in scientific notation are:

1. Multiply the two decimals. (4.9×7)=34.3
2. Multiply the exponential parts by adding the exponents. (10³×10⁶=10³⁺⁶=10⁹)
3. Write the answer in scientific notation. (34.3×10⁹)
4. If the decimal part is equal to or greater than 10, move the decimal point one place to the left and add one to the exponent. (3.43×10¹⁰)
