3.91 x 10^5 x 7.43 x 10^6

1 answer

To multiply these two numbers in scientific notation, you need to multiply the two coefficients and add the exponents.

(3.91 * 7.43) * (10^5 * 10^6) = 29.0233 * 10^11

Now, we need to express the answer in scientific notation.

29.0233 can be written as 2.90233 x 10^1 (moving the decimal point one place to the left and adjusting the exponent by -1).

Therefore, the final answer is 2.90233 x 10^1 * 10^11 = 2.90233 x 10^(1+11) = 2.90233 x 10^12.
