What is 8162800 in exponential form?

Answer 1

To convert a number to exponential form, you first have to divide it by a power of ten such that the units digit has the greatest place value. In this case we can divide by 1,000,000 to give 8.1628. The next step is to represent the number we divided by as a power of ten. We used 1,000,000 which is the 6th power of 10 or 106. This needs to be expressed alongside the number as a multiplication. Thus 8162800 in exponential form is 8.1628x106
