Step 1: Since 3029800000 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 3029800000.
3029800000.
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).
3.029800000.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 9 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 9.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 3.029800000 (which can be written as 3.0298 )
Exponent = 9
So, the solution is:
$$3029800000 = \color{blue}{ 3.0298} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 9 }}$$
