To compare the numbers 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation, we will first convert each number into scientific notation:

  1. 364,879 can be written as: \[ 3.64879 \times 10^5 \]

  2. 463,000 can be written as: \[ 4.63 \times 10^5 \]

  3. 436,765 can be written as: \[ 4.36765 \times 10^5 \]

Now we can compare these numbers:

  • \(3.64879 \times 10^5\)
  • \(4.63 \times 10^5\)
  • \(4.36765 \times 10^5\)

Since all the numbers have the same power of \(10^5\), we can directly compare the coefficients:

  • \(3.64879\)
  • \(4.63\)
  • \(4.36765\)

Among these coefficients, \(3.64879\) is the smallest.

Therefore, the number with the least value is 364,879 (or \(3.64879 \times 10^5\)).

The number with the least value among 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 is 364,879, which is represented in scientific notation as:

3.64879 × 10^5

So, the correct choice is:

3.64879 × 10^5.
