Given the value:
0.000000743
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 the whole numbers, while for decimals, we only include the first non-zero digit. The given number has a total of 6 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is -7. Note that we make the degree negative since we have a decimal value. The non-zero number excluding the first digit will be written in decimal point.
= 0.000000743
= 7.43 x 10^-7
Final answer:
= 7.43 x 10^-7
