Answer:


\huge\boxed{78,000,000,000=7.8*10^(10)}

\text{The scientific notation:}\\\\a*10^k\\\\\text{where}\ 1\leq a<10\ \text{and}\ k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\=========================


\text{We have:}\\\\78,000,000,000\Rightarrow7\underbrace{8,000,000,000}_(\leftarrow10)=7.8*1\underbrace{0,000,000,000}_(10)=7.8*10^(10)
