Answer 1

To compare the numbers 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation, we 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 them:

• \(3.64879 \times 10^5\) (364,879)
• \(4.36765 \times 10^5\) (436,765)
• \(4.63 \times 10^5\) (463,000)

Since they all have the same exponent \(10^5\), we only need to compare the coefficients:

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

Clearly, \(3.64879\) is the smallest coefficient.

Thus, 364,879 or \(3.64879 \times 10^5\) has the least value.
