(3.2 times 10^6)cdot(8.7 times 10^{11})(3.2×106)(8.7×1011)

by grouping the digit terms together and the exponential terms together,

=(3.2 cdot 8.7) times (10^6 cdot 10^{11})=(3.28.7)×(1061011)

by multiplying out,

=27.84 times 10^{17}=27.84×1017

by rewriting it in scientific notation,

=2.784 times 10^{18}=2.784×1018
