#6(5.3xx10^(-4))=3.18xx10^(-3)#

#6(5.3xx10^(-4))#

= #6xx5.3xx10^(-4)#

= #31.8xx10^(-4)#

However, in scientific notation, we cannot have a number equal to or greater than ten multiplied by a power of ten .

As such, we modify it as under

#31.8xx10^(-4)#

= #3.18xx10xx10^(-4)#

= #3.18xx10^1xx10^(-4)#

= #3.18xx10^(1+(-4))#

= #3.18xx10^(-3)#
