How do I write 37,000,000 in scientific notation
3.7 x 10^7
(count how many places I moved the decimal)
3.7 x 10^7
3.7 x 10^7, just like what the others say
3.7×10^7
To write 37,000,000 in scientific notation, follow these steps:
1. Scientific notation is expressed in the form of A × 10^n, where A is a number between 1 and 10 and n is an integer.
2. Start by moving the decimal point in 37,000,000 to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point.
- In this case, you would move the decimal point 7 places to the left to get 3.7.
3. Now, express 3.7 × 10^7, where 3.7 is A and 7 is n.
- Hence, 37,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 3.7 × 10^7.
Just to be clear, let me summarize the steps:
1. Move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of it.
2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point.
3. Express the number as A × 10^n, where A is the number obtained in step 2 and n is the number of places you moved the decimal point.
