O 4.36765 × 105
O 4.63 × 105
O 3.64879 × 105
O 364,879

Answer 1

To compare the three numbers using scientific notation, we need to express them in the form of a × 10^b, where 1 ≤ |a| < 10 and b is an integer.

The number 364,879 can be expressed as 3.64879 × 10^5 in scientific notation.
The number 463,000 can be expressed as 4.63 × 10^5 in scientific notation.
The number 436,765 can be expressed as 4.36765 × 10^5 in scientific notation.

To determine which number has the least value, we compare the coefficient (a part) of each number. The smaller the coefficient, the smaller the value.

Comparing the coefficients, we see that:
3.64879 < 4.63 < 4.36765

Therefore, the number with the least value is 3.64879 × 10^5.
