Step 1: Since 2440000 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 2440000.
2440000.
Step 2: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
2.440000.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 6 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 6.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 2.440000 (which can be written as 2.44 )
Exponent = 6
So, the solution is:
$$2440000 = \color{blue}{ 2.44} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 6 }}$$
