Answer 1

To compare the numbers 364,879, 463,000, and 436,765 using scientific notation, we first convert each number into 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 in the scientific notation since they all have the same exponent (10^5).

• \(3.64879\) for \(364,879\)
• \(4.63\) for \(463,000\)
• \(4.36765\) for \(436,765\)

Since \(3.64879\) is the smallest coefficient, it represents the least value.

Thus, the number with the least value is 364,879 (or \(3.64879 \times 10^5\) in scientific notation).
