Given:

6,000,000,000

 2,301,000,000

Write in scientific notation:

In order to write the given numbers in scientific notation, we will count the number of zeros and non zeros that each contain excluding the last digit.

6,000,000,000, has a total of 9 zeros therefore its degree will be 9. To represent 6,000,000,000 in scientific notation it will be

6 x 10 ^9

For  2,301,000,000, it contains 7 zeros, and 2 non zeros, therefore its degree will be 9. To represent  2,301,000,000in scientific notation it will be

2.301 x10 ^ 9

Noticed that the non zeros and the zero between them are expressed in decimal form.

Final answer: 

6,000,000,000 = 6 x 10 ^9

 2,301,000,000 = 2.301 x10 ^ 9
