How do you write 733 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To write 733 in scientific notation, you express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

Here's how you do it:

1. Move the decimal point in 733 to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, moving the decimal point two places left gives you 7.33.
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point: you moved it 2 places.
3. Since you moved the decimal point to the left, the exponent will be positive.

So, you can express 733 in scientific notation as:

\[ 7.33 \times 10^2 \]
