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

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

Now, we can compare the coefficients since all three numbers are expressed with the same power of ten (\(10^5\)).

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

The smallest coefficient is \(3.64879\), which corresponds to 364,879.

Therefore, the number with the least value is 364,879.
