7.614 x 10^6
To write 7,614,000 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. To do this, we count the number of spaces we move the decimal point. In this case, we would need to move the decimal point 6 spaces to the left.
Therefore, the number in scientific notation is 7.614 × 10^6.
To write a number in scientific notation, you need to express it as a product of a number between 1 and 10 (excluding 10) and a power of 10.
Let's break down the number 7,614,000 and write it in scientific notation:
1. Move the decimal point to the right of the first non-zero digit. In this case, we have 7.614000.
2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal. In this case, we moved it 6 places to the right.
3. Write 7.614000 as a number between 1 and 10 (excluding 10). This becomes 7.614.
4. Multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of the count from step 2. In this case, it is 10^6.
So the scientific notation for 7,614,000 is 7.614 × 10^6.
Note: The empty box mentioned in your question is not visible to me, so you would need to type "7.614 × 10^6" in it to complete the scientific notation.
