Given the number:
2,915,000,000
Write in scientific notation.
Solution:
In order to change a number in standard form to scientific notation, simply count the number of zeros and non zeros excluding the final digit. The given number has a total of 6 zeros and 3 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is 9. The non-zero number excluding the last digit will be written in decimal point.
= 2.915 x 10 ^ 9
Final answer:
= 2.915 x 10 ^ 9
