To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to convert them all to the same format.
364,879 is already in standard form, so we can leave it as is.
To convert 463,000 into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point 5 places to the left. This gives us 4.63 x 10^5.
To convert 436,765 into scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point 5 places to the left. This gives us 4.36765 x 10^5.
To compare the values, we can look at the coefficient in front of the 10 raised to the power.
Out of the three options:
A. 4.36765 x 10^5
B. 4.63 x 10^5
D. 3.64879 x 10^5
We can see that option A has the smallest coefficient, which means it has the least value.
Compare 364,879; 463,000; 436,765 using scientific notation. Which number has the least value?
A. 4.36765 x 10^5
B. 4.63 x 10^5
C. 364,879
D. 3.64879 x 10^5
