Question

Why is this number not in scientific notation? 36.5x10^6

Answer 1

Answer:

Because there can only be one number behind the decimal point in scientific notation. 36.5*$10^{6}$ still can be simplified to 3.65*$10^{7}$.

Answer 2

36.5x10⁶ is not in scientific notation because 36.5 is not less than 10, i.e. not a single digit number.

What is scientific notation ?

Scientific notation is a number which represents a very large or very small number in multiplicative form of a single digit positive number & exponential form of 10.

The scientific notation is of the form a×10ᵇ , where 1 ≤ |a| < 10

Why is the given number not in scientific notation ?

The given number is 36.5x10⁶
