Write each number in scientific notation. 3,590,000

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the original number: 3,590,000.

Determine the decimal point's position in the original number. It is currently at the end (after the last zero).

Move the decimal point to the left until only one non-zero digit remains to the left of the decimal point. Count how many places you move it. For 3,590,000, move the decimal point 6 places to the left, so it becomes 3.59.

Express the number as the product of the new decimal number and 10 raised to the power of the number of places moved. This gives the form: $3.59 \times 10^6$.

Write the final scientific notation as $3.59 \times 10^6$.
