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.

For 8785000000 this gives:

  1. 8785
  2. 8.785
  3. decimal point needs to move 9 places to the right
  4. is to the right so leave positive
  5. 8.785 ×10^9

→ 8785000000 = 8.785 ×10^9 in scientific notation.
