To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to convert them to the same power of 10.
364,879 = 3.64879 x 10^5
463,000 = 4.63 x 10^5
436,765 = 4.36765 x 10^5
To determine which number has the least value, we compare the coefficients (the numbers before the power of 10).
The coefficient for option a (3.64879) is the smallest among the three options.
Therefore, the number with the least value is option a: 3.64879 x 10^5.
364,879 = 3.64879 x 10^5
463,000 = 4.63 x 10^5
436,765 = 4.36765 x 10^5
