Question

How do you write `6,160,000,000` in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`6.16 * 10^9`

Explanation:

In scientific notation, we basically remove powers or add powers of 10 to a number so that we can get in the form `a * 10^b`, where `b` can must be a number so that `a` is less than 10.

In this case, we can separate 6,160,000,000 like this: `6.16 * 1000000000`, which we can represent as `6.16 *10^9`
