What is the scientific notation for 14100000?

Answer 1

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.

→ 14100000 = 1.41 × 10^7
