Q. How do you write

18,000

in scientific notation?

\newline

\_\_\_\_\_\times 10^{\_\_\_\_\_}

Identify Significant Digit: Identify the most significant digit in $18,000$ . The most significant digit is $1$ .
Write as Product: Write the number $18,000$ as a product of this digit and the remaining digits. $18,000$ can be written as $1.8$ followed by three zeros.
Count Decimal Point Moves: Count the number of places the decimal point must move to get from its original position to the position right after the most significant digit. $\newline$ The decimal point moves $4$ places to the right (from the end of $18,000$ to right after the $1$ in $1.8$ ).
Write in Scientific Notation: Write the number in the form of a single digit or decimal followed by a multiplication sign and $10$ raised to the power of the number of places the decimal point moved. $\newline$ $18,000$ is written as $1.8 \times 10^4$ in scientific notation.
