To express these numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that only one digit is to the left of the decimal point, and then indicate the rest of the decimal digits as a multiple of 10 raised to a power.

364,879 in scientific notation is 3.64879 × 10^5
463,000 in scientific notation is 4.63 × 10^5
436,765 in scientific notation is 4.36765 × 10^5

Comparing these numbers, we can see that the number with the least value is A) 3.64879 × 10^5.
