Question

How do i convert 30270000 into scientific notation

Answer 1

Answer

3.027 × 10^7

I'm not the best at explaining but here is my attempt

You start with 30270000 you write the first number which is 3 then put a decimal and then put the rest of the numbers until the rest of the numbers are zeros..

3.027

Then put a × 10^

3.027 × 10^

And then the original number's digit count minus 1 is the number so 0270000 is 7 digits so the answer is

3.027 × 10^7

Sorry i'm horrible at explaining

Answer 2

Answer:

3.027 × 10^7

Step-by-step explanation:

30270000

We need to move the decimal until there is only one digit to the left of the decimal.  So we move it 7 places to the left.The 7 becomes out exponent.  When we move it to the left, the exponent is positive.  If we had moved it to the right, our exponent would have been negative

3.0270000 * 10 ^7

We can drop the trailing zero's

3.027 * 10 ^7
