Write 2024 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 2024 = 2.024\cdot 10^{3} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Since 2024 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 2024.
2024.
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).
2.024.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 3 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 3.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 2.024
Exponent = 3
So, the solution is:
$$2024 = \color{blue}{ 2.024} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 3 }}$$This page was created using
