Question

Hi I need help,how do you write 5,806 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Answer:

  5.806 × 10³

Step-by-step explanation:

Put a decimal point to the right of the left-most digit: 5.806. Now multiply by the place value of that digit.

  5.806 × 10³

___

The 5 is in the "thousands" place. Of course a "thousand" is 1000 = 10·10·10 = 10³. The place value multiplier (1000 or 10³) is written using the exponent when we write scientific notation.
