The number 374,000 in standard form is written as 3.74 x 10^5.

Start with the given number.

Move the decimal point to the left until there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point.

Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. This will be the exponent of 10.

Write the remaining digits as the coefficient before the decimal point.

Multiply the coefficient by 10 raised to the exponent to get the number in standard form.
