Given the numerical value:
0.00107
Change to 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 for whole numbers, hence for decimals, we only include the first non-zero digit. The given number has a total of 2 zeros ( do not include zero between two nonzero) and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is -3. Decimals are written to have negative degrees. The non-zero number excluding the first digit will be written in decimal point.
= 1.07 x 10^-3
Final answer:
= 1.07 x 10^-3
