Question

write the following number in scientific notation.
15,920,000
15,920,000 = \square
(use the multiplication symbol in the math palette as needed)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation form

Scientific notation is \( a\times10^{n} \), where \( 1\leq|a|\lt10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

Step2: Rewrite 15,920,000

Move the decimal point 7 places to the left to get \( a = 1.592 \), so \( n = 7 \). Thus, \( 15920000 = 1.592\times10^{7} \).

Answer:

\( 1.592\times10^{7} \)
