1.98E8 is equivalent to 198,000,000 in standard notation.
To represent this number in scientific notation, we move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to its left. In this case, we move the decimal point 8 places to the left, resulting in 1.98.
Since we moved the decimal point 8 places to the left, we need to multiply the number by 10^8 to maintain its value. Thus, the scientific notation for 1.98E8 is:
1.98 x 10^8
