To determine which number has the greatest value, we need to express each number in scientific notation and compare their exponents.
654,987,034 = 6.54987034 x 10^8
645,897,430 = 6.45897430 x 10^8
546,789,340 = 5.46789340 x 10^8
Comparing the exponents, we see that all the numbers have the same exponent (10^8). However, the greatest value is determined by the coefficient in front of the power of 10.
Therefore, the number with the greatest value is 654,987,034 in scientific notation: 6.54987034 x 10^8.
654,987,034 = 6.54987034 x 10^8
645,897,430 = 6.45897430 x 10^8
546,789,340 = 5.46789340 x 10^8
Comparing the exponents, we see that all the numbers have the same exponent (10^8). However, the greatest value is determined by the coefficient in front of the power of 10.
Therefore, the number with the greatest value is 654,987,034 in scientific notation: 6.54987034 x 10^8.
