Question

Write 2,469,100 in Engineering Notation with 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer: $2.47\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

Engineering notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form times 10 raise to the power.  It is similar to the scientific notation but in engineering notation, the powers of ten are always multiples of 3.

The engineering notation written in the form:

$a\times 10^b$

where,

a = the number which is greater than 0 and less than 999

b = an integer multiple of 3

Now converting the given value of 2,469,100 into engineering notation, we get $2.47\times 10^{6}$

Hence, the correct answer is, $2.47\times 10^{6}$
