How do write 635000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To write a number in scientific notation you first need to divide the number by a power of 10 such that the answer has units as the greatest place value. In this case, you can divide by 100,000 to get 6.35. The next step is to represent this power of 10 next to the number as a multiplication. We use 100,000 which is 105. Thus, 635,000 in scientific notation is 6.35x105
