First of all, when we convert numbers to scientific notation, we should recall what scientific notation looks like.
A number in scientific notation looks like that:
____x10^-
____ is the coefficient (it should always be between 1 and 10)
- is the exponent.
1,000 in Scientific notation looks like so:
10x10^2
Now, the exponent doesn't mean that we multiply 10 times 10. It means we take 10 and move the decimal point 2 units to the right (the positive exponent indicates that we move the decimal point to the right)
98,000 in Scientific notation looks like so:
9.8x10^4
