Question

Express 410, 000 in scientific notation

Answer 1

In a scientific notation, you have to put a decimal right after the first number (unless it is a zero). How many times you move the decimal from its original spot determines the answer. (FYI: In a number like 196 the decimal point is 196.000<--here)

4.10000 (moved the decimal point 5 times, so the answer is --->) 
4.1 × $10^{5} \ \textless \ -answer$
