Question

How would you write 5,138,000 in scientific notation

Answer 1

Answer: 5.138 × 106

Explanation:
1.Move the decimal place to the left to create a new number from 1 up to 10.
2. Determine the exponent, which is the number of times you moved the decimal.
3. Put the number in the correct form for scientific notation (N*10^a)
Where N equals between 1 and 10, but not 10 itself, and a is an integer (positive or negative number).
