If we wrote 23.6 million in scientific notation we have 2.36 x 107 for the answer. In scientific notation, there is only one non-zero figure to the left of the decimal, and the other significant figures appear to the decimal's right. We then write an appropriate power of ten to finish our conversion. Out 23.6 million is 23.6 x 106, but we need to shift the decimal one place to the left. That means we'll have to add a power of ten to get the correct conversion, hence 2.36 x 107 will be the correct answer.
