$13,800,000$

Since we are multiplying, we can group our terms in any order:

We can rewrite this as

$color(steelblue)(6*2.3)*color(purple)(10^2*10^4)$

With the exponents, since we have the same bases, we add the powers to get

$13.8*10^6$

Since our exponent is $6$ , we loop the decimal $6$ times to the right to get

$13,800,000$

Hope this helps!
