Write 24180000 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 24180000 = 2.418\cdot 10^{7} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Since 24180000 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 24180000.
24180000.
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).
2.4180000.
Step 3: We moved the decimal point 7 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 7.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 2.4180000 (which can be written as 2.418 )
Exponent = 7
So, the solution is:
$$24180000 = \color{blue}{ 2.418} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 7 }}$$This page was created using
