Convert 3,200,000 to a scientific notation.

3.2 x 10.6

6 is an exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating scientific notation for a positive integer is simple, as it always follows this notation: a x 10b

Step 1: To find a, take the number and move a decimal place to the right one position.

-Original Number: 3,200,000

-New Number: 3.200000

Step 2:  Now, to find b, count how many places to the right of the decimal.

-There are 6 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 = 3.2

-b = 6

Now the whole thing:

-3.2 x 10.6

step 4: Check your work,

10x6 = 1,000,000 x 3.2 = 3,200,000

Hope this helps!
