Write 7050000 in scientific notation

Step by step

The question

Question: write 7050000 in scientific notation.

1 What it looks like

Scientific notation is a number from 1 to under 10, times a power of 10.

2 Move the point

Moving the point 6 to the left made the number 1000000 times smaller.

To make it the same again, we times by 1000000.

That is 10⁶.

So 7050000 is 7.050000 × 10⁶.

Zeros at the end, after the point, can go: 7.050000 is 7.05.

So we get 7.05 × 10⁶.

3 Check

Let's check: times 1000000 moves the point 6 back to the right.

We get 7050000 again!

Let's look back.

First: what it looks like.

Then: move the point.

Last: check.
