Question

Enter numbers to write 0.000328 in scientific notation

Answer 1

3.28 x 10^-4
.........................

Answer 2

3.28 × 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

The scientific notation is a way to express numbers that are too big or too small. It has the following form:

m × 10ⁿ

where,

1 ≤ m < 10

n is an integer

If the original number is too big, n is positive, whereas if the original number is too small, n is negative. In 0.000328, n would be negative. The value of n depends on the position of the decimal point with regard to the number that allows m to satisfy the imposed conditions. In 0.000328, there are 4 numbers between the decimal point and the right of 3. Finally, the scientific notation for 0.000328 is:

3.28 × 10⁻⁴
