Step 1 To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position. Original Number: 58,927 New Number: 5.8927 Step 2 Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal. New Number: 5 . 8 9 2 7 Decimal Count: 1 2 3 4 There are 4 places to the right of the decimal place. Step 3 Building upon what we know above, we can now reconstruct the number into scientific notation. Remember, the notation is: a x 10b a = 5.8927 b = 4 Now the whole thing: 5.8927 x 104 Step 4 Check your work: 104 = 10,000 x 5.8927 = 58,927
