Q. How do you write 882 in scientific notation?_____×10_____
Express in Scientific Notation: To write a number in scientific notation, we need to express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. We do this by moving the decimal point in the number to the left until only one non-zero digit remains to the left of the decimal point. The number of places we move the decimal point will be the exponent of 10.
Move Decimal Point: The number 882 can be rewritten with the decimal point after the first non-zero digit, which is 8. So we move the decimal point two places to the left, which gives us 8.82.
Determine Exponent: Since we moved the decimal point two places to the left, the exponent of 10 will be 2. Therefore, 882 in scientific notation is written as 8.82×102.
