Question

How do you write 833,000 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`=>8.33 xx 10^5`

Explanation:

You write a decimal containing the significant digits before the trailing zeroes.

`833,000 =>8.33000`

Then you multiply by a power of `10`. Since `833,000` is shifted 5 decimal places to the left to arrive at `8.33000`, we multiply by `10^5`.

Hence, `8.33 xx 10^5` (we don't write the trailing zeroes).
