Given:
6,020,000
Write in scientific notation.
Solution:
The standard form of the number are usually expressed in scientific notation in order to perform easy computations. To write in scientific notation, simply count the number of zeros, and the number of non zeros, excluding the final digit. In our case we have a total of 5 zeros and 1 non zeros combine, therefore the degree of the scientific notation is 6. The non zero numbers, and the zero between the two non zeros, will be expressed in decimal form.
Normal form:
6,020,000
Scientific Notation:
6.02 x 10^6
