How do you write 6250 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

6250 = 6.25 x 10³

----------------------------------------------------

To convert a number to scientific notation:

1. write out the number starting with the first non-zero digit and continue until the last non-zero digit;
2. put the decimal point after the first digit;
3. count how many digits the decimal point needs to move to get back to where it was originally (if there was no decimal point as the number was a whole number it was "hiding" after the ones-digit, the last digit);
4. if the decimal point need to move left make this count negative;
5. write ×10 to the power of this count after the number written in step 2.

I suppose you want it done as well as "how to do it"....

1. 625
2. 6.25
3. 3 digits to the right
4. To right, so it stays positive as 3
5. 6.25 × 10³

→ 6250 = 6.25 × 10³ in scientific notation.
