Full solution

Q. Write the following number in scientific notation.\newline1,598,000,0001,598,000,000
  1. Identify Number of Digits: Identify the number of places before the decimal point in 15980000001598000000. Since there is no decimal shown, it is at the end of the number. Count the digits from right to left until reaching the first digit of the number.\newlineCalculation: 15980000001598000000 has 1010 digits.
  2. Move Decimal Point Left: Move the decimal point to the left so it is just after the first non-zero digit. This will convert the number into a form that starts with one non-zero digit followed by a decimal point.\newlineCalculation: 1.5980000001.598000000
  3. Count Decimal Places Moved: Count the number of places the decimal has moved from its original position to its new position to determine the exponent of 1010.\newlineCalculation: The decimal moved 99 places.
  4. Write in Standard Form: Write the number in standard form using the base (the number obtained after moving the decimal) and the exponent (the number of places the decimal moved).\newlineCalculation: 1.598×1091.598 \times 10^9
