To determine which of these numbers has the least value, we need to express them all in scientific notation and compare their exponents.
123,893 = 1.23893 x 10^5
31,892 = 3.1892 x 10^4
12,786 = 1.2786 x 10^4
Comparing the exponents, we can see that 10^4 has the smallest exponent of 4. Therefore, the number 12,786 has the least value in scientific notation.
123,893 = 1.23893 x 10^5
31,892 = 3.1892 x 10^4
12,786 = 1.2786 x 10^4
Comparing the exponents, we can see that 10^4 has the smallest exponent of 4. Therefore, the number 12,786 has the least value in scientific notation.
