Q. How do you write 13 in scientific notation?_____×10_____
Identify Most Significant Digit: Identify the most significant digit in the number 13. The most significant digit in 13 is 1.
Place Decimal Point: Place the decimal point after the most significant digit to create a number between 1 and 10. By placing the decimal after the 1, we get 1.3.
Count Decimal Point Movement: Count the number of places the decimal point has moved from its original position to the position after the most significant digit.The decimal point in 13 is implicitly after the 3, so it has moved one place to the left to get 1.3.
Write Number as Product: Write the number as a product of the number found in Step 2 and 10 raised to the power of the number of places the decimal point moved found in Step 3.Since the decimal point moved one place, we write 13 as 1.3×101.
