To compare the numbers 364,879; 463,000; and 436,765 using scientific notation, we first rewrite each number in scientific notation:
- 364,879 is equal to \(3.64879 \times 10^5\).
- 463,000 is equal to \(4.63 \times 10^5\).
- 436,765 is equal to \(4.36765 \times 10^5\).
Now we will compare the coefficients of each number since they all have the same exponent of \(10^5\):
- \(3.64879\) (for \(364,879\))
- \(4.63\) (for \(463,000\))
- \(4.36765\) (for \(436,765\))
Among these coefficients, \(3.64879\) is the smallest.
Thus, the number with the least value is 364,879 (which is \(3.64879 \times 10^5\)).
