Converting 54,000 x 1,200 to Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a way of expressing very large or very small numbers in a more compact and readable form. It involves writing a number in the form:
a × 10^n
where a is a number between 1 and 10, and n is an integer.
In this article, we will convert the product of 54,000 and 1,200 to scientific notation.
Multiplying 54,000 and 1,200
First, let's multiply 54,000 and 1,200:
54,000 × 1,200 = 64,800,000
Converting to Scientific Notation
To convert 64,800,000 to scientific notation, we need to find the power of 10 that will make the number between 1 and 10.
64,800,000 = 6.48 × 10^7
Here, a is 6.48, and n is 7.
Result in Scientific Notation
Therefore, the product of 54,000 and 1,200 in scientific notation is:
6.48 × 10^7
This notation makes it easier to read and compare very large numbers.
