1. Move the decimal point: Start by moving the decimal point to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, we move it 7 places to the left: 5.6780000.
2. Count the moves: We moved the decimal point 7 places to the left.
3. Multiply by 10 raised to the power: Since we moved the decimal to the left, the exponent will be positive. The exponent will be the same as the number of places we moved the decimal.
Therefore, 56,780,000 in scientific notation is 5.678 x 10⁷.
