What are the steps to converting standard form to scientific notation?
In the UK, none, since they are the same. For people in the US,
To convert a number to scientific notation: · If the number has no decimal point, then add one at the end. · Then move the decimal point to just after the first digit while counting the number of places you have moved it. · The mantissa of the new number, formed after moving the decimal point is a. · If the original number is negative, then so is a. · The number of places to the left that the decimal point was moved is b. If it was moved to the right, then b is negative. For example: 23045.06 becomes 2.304506*10^4 -23045.06 becomes -2.304506*10^4 0.00023004 becomes 2.3004*10^-4
What is the scientific notation of 598000?
5.98x10^5
For scientific notation, you want to move the decimal point so that it's after the first digit. Then you count how many places you moved the decimal and make that the power of 10. In this case you moved the decimal point 5 places, three places in front of the 3 zeroes and two more places in front of the 9 and 8.
How did you get the answer that 98204 is the exponential notation of 262144?
We have no idea. The exponential notation of 262144 is 2^18
How do you write 26 in scientific notation?
26 is same as 26.0. Then, move a decimal place left from the starting point. Therefore, the number in scientific notation is 2.6 x 101.
How do you put 0.000000428 in scientific notation?
The first non-zero digit is 4 so to move the decimal point to just after it, you need to move it 7 places to the right.
So it is 4.28*10-7.
What is the exponent to 1000000?
As a product of its prime factors in exponents: 2^6 times 5^6 = 1,000,000
As in terms of scientific notation it is: 1.0*10^6
