1. Move the decimal point: Start by placing an imaginary decimal point after the last digit: 892. Move the decimal point to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, you'll move it two places to the left, resulting in 8.92.
2. Count the decimal places: You moved the decimal point two places to the left, so the exponent will be +2.
3. Combine the parts: The scientific notation of 892 is 8.92 x 102
