Write the number in scientific notation. 66,000

Solution

The goal of writing a number in scientific notation is to have a decimal number, with one digit to theleft of the decmial point, followed by a × 10^{to some power}.

To format your number in this way, we\'ll divide the 66000 by 10, 4 time(s), making it a 6.6.
We do this, because each division by 10 moves the decimal point to the left one digit.
But in order to keep our number the same number, we must have a × 10⁴next to the 6.6.

So, the final answer is 6.6 × 10⁴
