8.0000304*10^7

Explanation:

Scientific notation requires you to write the number as a real number between 1 and 10, multiplied by the appropriate number of powers of 10. For example, 25 is 2.5 *10^1 and 136 is 1.36*10^2

In this case, the decimal point needs to be moved 7 places to get a number less than 10 so the answer is 8.0000304*10^7
