Question

• 3.64879 × 105
O 4.63 × 105
• 4.36765 × 105
364,879

Answer 1

To compare these numbers in scientific notation:

1. 364,879 is represented as \( 3.64879 \times 10^5 \)
2. 463,000 is represented as \( 4.63 \times 10^5 \)
3. 436,765 is represented as \( 4.36765 \times 10^5 \)

Now, we can compare the coefficients (the numbers in front of the power of ten):

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

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

Thus, 364,879 has the least value.
