Convert 937000000 into scientific notation.

Step 1

The given number is 937000000.

Move to the decimal to the left in 8 places. So it is positioned to the right of the leftmost non-zero digits 9.37000000.

Remove all the zeroes and multiply the number by 10. Now the number has become = 9.37.

Since the number is greater than 10 and the decimal is moved to the left, we use a positive exponent here.

The scientific notation is \$9.37 times 10^9\$.

Explanation:

So, in scientific notation, 937000000 is written as \$9.37 times 10^9\$.
