Step-by-step explanation:
Start by recognizing the significant figures of the number in question. the first factor to include in the scientific notation should have a non-zero digit followed by a decimal point, and whatever other significant figures follow. Make sure you count how many places you need to move the decimal point to get to the first significant figure for the quantity. If you moved the decimal point to the left in order to get to the first significant figure, you have to include a positive exponent for the base ten, and that exponent is the number of places you counted. If you moved to the right when moving the decimal point to locate it after the first significant figure, you need to include the negative of the number of places you counted in the exponent of the accompanying base 10.
