To convert 344,000,000 to scientific notation, follow these steps:
1. Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers as the product of a coefficient (a number between 1 and 10) and a power of 10. To determine the coefficient, start by dividing the number by 10 raised to a power until it becomes a value between 1 and 10.
Divide 344,000,000 by 10 until the quotient is between 1 and 10:
344,000,000 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 344,000
2. The coefficient is now 344,000. To express it in scientific notation, place a decimal after the first digit and adjust the power of 10 accordingly. In this case, since we divided by 10 three times, the power of 10 will be 10^3.
344,000 can be written as 3.44 × 10^5 in scientific notation.
Therefore, 344,000,000 in scientific notation is 3.44 × 10^8.
