Question

how do you write 424,000 in scientific notation? $square \times 10^{square}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coefficient (1≤c<10)

To get a coefficient between 1 and 10, move the decimal point of 424,000 left 5 places: $4.24$

Step2: Find the exponent of 10

The number of places moved is the exponent: $5$

Answer:

$4.24$ × $10^5$
(So the first box is filled with $4.24$, the second box with $5$)
