How do i convert 0.0002405 into scientific notation

We write a number in the form abcdef.ghijkl as a.bcdefghijkl multiplied by an appropriate power of 10. In this example, we moved the decimal point 5 times to the left, so we would have a.bcdefghijkl x 10^5.

Here, to do the same we need to move the decimal point to the right, so we are essentially dividing by a power of 10, or multiplying by a negative power of 10, and the decimal point needs to be moved 4 positions:

0.0002405 = 2.405 x 10^(-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

The expression is about two powers with the same base, so we can use the power property of multiplication, which states that we must proceed we writing only one base and sum exponents

Then, we use the negative exponent property

Finally, we solve the power

Therefore, the given expression is equivalen to .
