Answer 1

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

1. 364,879:

   • When converted to scientific notation, it becomes \(3.64879 \times 10^5\).

2. 463,000:

   • This number in scientific notation is \(4.63 \times 10^5\).

3. 436,765:

   • This number in scientific notation is \(4.36765 \times 10^5\).

Now, we can compare the coefficients of the scientific notation since all three numbers are multiplied by \(10^5\):

• \(3.64879\) (for 364,879)
• \(4.63\) (for 463,000)
• \(4.36765\) (for 436,765)

The coefficient \(3.64879\) is the smallest among them. Therefore, the number with the least value is:

364,879 (or \(3.64879 \times 10^5\) in scientific notation).
