Compare 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation. Which number has the least value?

Answer 1

To write these numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, and then multiply it by the power of 10 required to make up for the moved decimal point.

Let's convert each number into scientific notation:

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

Comparing these numbers, we see that 3.64879 × 10^5 or 364,879 has the least value because its coefficient (3.64879) is the smallest of the three numbers.
