Write 26.373 in scientific notation.

2.6373×10^1

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing a number in scientific notation, we want to format it this way:

[the number]×10^[an exponent]

The purpose of using scientific notation is to write very big or very small numbers in an easy way. The first number in the above needs to be greater than 1 but less than 10, and we can accomplish this by moving the decimal place. In this case, 26.373 is greater than 10 and we can meet this criterion by moving the decimal place once to the left to make 2.6373.

Because we moved the decimal place one place to the left, we know that the exponent of 10 should be 1.

2.6373×10^1
