To express these numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right of the first non-zero digit and keep track of the number of places we moved it.
- For 34,835,760: The decimal point is already after the last digit, so we can express it as 3.4835760 x 10^7.
- For 43,835,760: Moving the decimal point one place to the right, we get 4.3835760 x 10^7.
Comparing the numbers written in scientific notation, we can see that 4.3835760 x 10^7 is greater than 3.4835760 x 10^7.
Therefore, 43,835,760 is greater than 34,835,760.
Use scientific notation to determine which of these numbers is greater. 34,835,760 or 43,835,760 write your answer in scientific notation expressed to the exact decimal place
