1  8  2  0  0  0.

 

There are 6 digits and we need to make it 1 digit in front of the decimal point.

 

6-x=1

 

182000=1.82*10x

 

Find the value of x.

 

-x+6=1

   -6   -6

 

-x=-5

--   --

-1   -1

 

x=5, so the scientific notation is 1.82*105

You can also move the decimal an amount of spaces until you have 1 digit in front of the decimal.
