88 in Scientific Notation
Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are very large or very small. It uses a coefficient multiplied by a power of 10.
To express 88 in scientific notation, we follow these steps:
-
Move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move the decimal point one place to the left, resulting in 8.8.
-
Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. We moved the decimal point one place to the left, so the exponent of 10 will be 1.
-
Write the number in the form of a coefficient multiplied by 10 raised to the power of the number of places you moved the decimal point.
Therefore, 88 in scientific notation is 8.8 x 10<sup>1</sup>.
