What is the correct way to write 340,000,000 in scientific notation?

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to write 340,000,000 in scientific notation.

To write a number is scientific notation, we need to numbers whose product is equal to the given number.

The first number is between 0 and 10 and second number is a power of 10.

The first factor of our number between 0 and 10 would be 3.4. Now we need to raise 10 to such a power whose product with 3.4 gives us 340,000,000.

We will raise 10 to the 8 power as equals 340,000,000 and there are 8 digits after decimal, therefore, our required number is in scientific notation.
