Britt: what is 526923076.923 in scientific notation?
Hi Britt,
You have to end up with just 1 digit in front of the decimal point so that will be 5.26923076923
So you have to 'jump' the decimal point over 8 digits to get it to its new position.
Your original number is a really big one - so the power (indice) will be positive
hence 5.26923076923 x 10
