Given the number:
230,000
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 4 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is 5. The non-zero number excluding the last digit will be written in decimal point.
Final answer:
Scientific notation:
2.3 x 10^5
