And i'm not so much looking for just the answer...if you can explain the process of converting it into E notation, that would be awesome. :)

anonymous · Answer

do you mean the notation you see on a calculator?

anonymous · Answer

like 2.34e+23

anonymous · Answer

I'm assuming so. not exactly sure, it's not for a math class, it's for a computer programming class...haha

anonymous · Answer

In computer programming, it reads 'e' in a number as '$\times 10\text{^}$'
So 1.23e23 would be read as $1.23 \times 10^{23}$

anonymous · Answer

aaahhhh, lovely.
so my answer would be 3.287e6 ?

E  means  the exponent of 10
