First move the decimal point places to the left to find , a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 7,594,000,000.

To convert it into scientific notation,

First move the decimal point places to the left to find a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal. The exponent is negative if the original no was <1 and the exponent is positive, if the original number was  > 1.

In 7,594,000,000, we move the decimal point places to the left before 5. It means we have moved 9 digits left.

Hence, $7,594,000,000=7.59\times 10^9$ is the scientific notation.
