0.000 000 000 074 61 = 7.461 × 10^(-11)
A number in scientific notation has the form N × 10^a where
N = the coefficient and 1 ≤ N <1 and
a = the exponent and is an integer
Step 1. Find the coefficient.
Move the decimal point to the right until you get a coefficient between 1
and 10.
The coefficient becomes 7.461.
Step 2. Determine the exponent.
The exponent is the negative of the number of places you moved the decimal point.
You had to move the decimal point 11 places, so the exponent is -11.
Step 3. Write the number in scientific notation.
0.000 000 000 074 61 = 7.461 × 10^(-11)
