Step 1: Since 2204000000 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 2204000000.
2204000000.
Step 2: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
2.204000000.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 9 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 9.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 2.204000000 (which can be written as 2.204 )
Exponent = 9
So, the solution is:
$$2204000000 = \color{blue}{ 2.204} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 9 }}$$
