Here is a number in scientific notation: 2.3456353*10^4
Here is that number in decimal notation: 23456.353
We know that 10^4=10*10*10*10
We also know that when you multiply any number by 10, you just add one zero. So, 10^4 = 10000.
Now, multiplying a number by a number that starts with a one and has only zeros will end up just tacking the zeros on e.g. 15*1000=15000
This is the same as moving the decimal point over one space for every zero. e.g. 15.00*1000=15000.00
So, when we multiply 2.345635 by 10^4 it's the same as multiplying 2.3456353 by 10000, which ends up moving the decimal over 4 places, which brings us to the answer of:
23456.353
Btw 10^4 means 10 to the 4th power/power of 4.

3.744000 is scientific notation is 3.744 x 100. This is because the decimal is already placed where it would be after converting the number to scientific notation. However, if you wanted to convert 3744000.0 to scientific notation, you would have to move the decimal left six places. This number, in scientific notation, is 3.744 x 106.
To convert 0.000486 into scientific notation, move the decimal point 3 places to the right to make it a number between 1 and 10. Thus, 0.000486 becomes 4.86 x 10^-4 in scientific notation.
278.000 in Scientific Notation = 2.78 x 102278.000, you move the decimal to 27.8000=2.78 x 10 2
To convert 450 to scientific notation, you move the decimal point to a position after the first digit, which gives you 4.5. Then count the number of places you moved the decimal point, in this case, it is two places. Thus, 450 in scientific notation is written as 4.5 x 10^2.
To convert number from standard form to scientific notation, you need to shift the decimal places left/right right up to the one between the leading nonzero digit and the adjacent digit. For instance:0.034Shift 2 decimal places to the right to obtain:3.4 x 10-2.Well, to convert the number from scientific notation to standard form, shift the number of decimal places in the opposite way. For instance, if the exponent for base 10 is -2, and you want to convert it back to the standard form, you shift 2 decimal places to the left.
