364,879

3.64879 ×10^5

4.36765 ×10^5

4.63 ×10^5

Answer 1

To compare the numbers using scientific notation, we need to rewrite each number in scientific notation.

364,879 = 3.64879 ×10^5
463,000 = 4.63 ×10^5
436,765 = 4.36765 ×10^5

To determine which number has the least value, we need to compare the coefficients (the numbers before the multiplication symbol) without considering the exponent.

Comparing the coefficients:
3.64879 < 4.63 < 4.36765

Therefore, 3.64879 ×10^5 has the least value.
