Question
Write 36950000 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 36950000 = 3.695\cdot 10^{7} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Since 36950000 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 36950000.
36950000.
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).
3.6950000.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 7 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 7.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 3.6950000 (which can be written as 3.695 )
Exponent = 7
So, the solution is:
$$36950000 = \color{blue}{ 3.695} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 7 }}$$This page was created using
