Question

A company is worth $79,600,000. Write this number in scientific notation.

79,600,000=

Answer 1

The answer is 7.96×10⁷ .

Explanation:

As the decimal moves to the left , you have to add one more power to the base 10 :

e.g

7 960 000.0 = 7 960 000×10¹

796 000.00 = 796 000×10²

79 600.000 = 79 600×10³

7 960.0000 = 7 960×10⁴

796.00000 = 796×10⁵

79.600000 = 79.6×10⁶

7.9600000 = 7.96×10⁷

* Take note :

`a * {10}^(n)`

0 < a < 10 ('a' must be greater than 0 but smaller than 10)
