To compare the numbers using scientific notation, we need to rewrite each number in scientific notation.

364,879 = 3.64879 ×10^5
463,000 = 4.63 ×10^5
436,765 = 4.36765 ×10^5

To determine which number has the least value, we need to compare the coefficients (the numbers before the multiplication symbol) without considering the exponent.

Comparing the coefficients:
3.64879 < 4.63 < 4.36765

Therefore, 3.64879 ×10^5 has the least value.

To compare the given numbers using scientific notation, we need to convert them into the same exponent form.

364,879 can be written in scientific notation as 3.64879 × 10^5.

463,000 can be written in scientific notation as 4.63 × 10^5.

436,765 can be written in scientific notation as 4.36765 × 10^5.

Now, we can compare the numbers:

3.64879 × 10^5 < 4.36765 × 10^5 < 4.63 × 10^5.

Therefore, the number with the least value is 364,879.

To compare the given numbers using scientific notation, we need to convert them to the form "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (inclusive), and "b" is an integer.

Let's convert each number:

364,879 can be written as 3.64879 × 10^5

463,000 can be written as 4.63 × 10^5

436,765 can be written as 4.36765 × 10^5

To determine which number has the least value, we can compare the coefficients (the numbers before the multiplication sign) in each scientific notation representation.

Comparing the coefficients:
3.64879 < 4.63
3.64879 < 4.36765

Therefore, the number 364,879 (3.64879 × 10^5) has the least value.
