Question

What is 445,000,000,000,000 in a scientific notation?

Answer 1

`4.45xx10^14`

Explanation:

Move the decimal to the left `14` places so that only one non-zero digit is in front of the decimal. Then multiply by the base `10` raised to a power that is equal to but opposite the `14` places the decimal was moved.

`4.45xx10^14`

The decimal was moved to the left (negative) `14` places, so the exponent is positive `14`. To get the number back to the original number, you would move the decimal to the right (positive) `14` places.
