Converting a number to Scientific Notation:
Put the decimal after the first digit and drop the zeroes.
/1.23/ 000
In the number 123,000, the coefficient will be 1.23
To find the exponent, count the number of places from the decimal to the end of the number.
In 123,000, there are 5 places. Therefore, we write 123,000 as:
1.23 x 10^5
Converting a Scientific Notation to a number:
To convert a number written in scientific notation to a number in standard form, move the decimal point the number of places prescribed by the exponent on the 10.
4.6730×10^4 . The exponent of 10 is 4 so move the decimal point to the right 4 places (adding 0′s if necessary).
4.6730 X 10^4 (move decimal 4 times.)
Therefore, the answer will be 46730
