Question

Write 0.00057824 in Engineering Notation with 3 significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

$578.2\times 10^{-6}$

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way of writing numbers which are either large or small. The number is written in the scientific notation when the number is between 1 and 10 and then multiplied by the power of 10. Engineering notation is the same version of the scientific notation but the number can be between 1 and 1000 and in this exponent of the ten is divisible by three.

For example, $1000^2$ is to be written as $10^6$ in engineering notation.

The given number:

0.00057824 can be written as $578.24\times 10^{-6}$

Answer upto 4 significant digits = $578.2\times 10^{-6}$
