To express the number 453,100 in scientific notation, you need to write it in the format of \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq a < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.
First, we write 453,100 in the proper format:
- Move the decimal point in 453,100 to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, moving it to the left 5 places gives us \( 4.53100 \).
Thus, we write:
\[
453,100 = 4.53100 \times 10^5
\]
In this case, the exponent \( n \) is 5.
So, the value of the exponent when 453,100 is written in scientific notation is **5**.
