What is 25600 is scientific notation and significant figures?
For 25600.0, shift 4 decimal places to the left. Then, 2.56 x 104 has 3 sig figs, which are rounded up "already".
What is scientific notation explained easiest?
1) Move the decimal until your number appears to be between 1 and 10 count the spaces that you move the decimal.
2) use the number of spaces as the exponent of 10 (the base)
3) if the original number was greater than 10, the exponent is positive, if the original number was less than 1 then the exponent is negative.
EX: 250,000 becomes 2.5 x 105
but 0.0025 becomes 2.5 x 10-3
What are the basic steps in solving scientific notation?

On digit (not didgit!).
What is the scientific notation of 25000000000?
2.5 x 109 is wrong.
2.5 x 109 would be "2500000000
The correct answer is 2.5 x 1010 or 25 x 109 (But this would not be in true scientific notation). Scientific notation is basically calculated by how many times you would move the decimal point (as a result of multiplying by 10). As follows.
2.5 x 109 = 2500000000
2.5 x 1010 = 25000000000
Not sure how old this question is but thought i would answer anyway.
