Yoshi wrote the number 7,614,000 in scientific notation. Type the number in the empty box given below to complete the scientific notation.
7.614 x 10^6
To write the number 7,614,000 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.
Given the number 7,614,000, we move the decimal point 6 places to the left to obtain 7.614.
Thus, in scientific notation, 7,614,000 can be written as 7.614 × 10^6.
To write the number 7,614,000 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal.
First, count the number of places the decimal point needs to move to the left to have a single non-zero digit. In this case, the decimal point needs to move 6 places to the left.
Next, write the number in the box using scientific notation:
7.614000 × 10^6
Here, the 10^6 means we moved the decimal point 6 places to the left, which represents multiplying the number by 10 raised to the power of 6.
