1. Move the decimal point: Start by placing the decimal point after the first digit (6). You'll need to move it four places to the left: 6.3360
2. Count the moves: You moved the decimal point four places to the left.
3. Exponent: Since you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent of 10 will be positive. The exponent is the same number as the number of places you moved the decimal.
4. Combine: Put it all together: 6.3360 x 10⁴
Therefore, 63,360 in scientific notation is 6.3360 x 10⁴
