\n" ); document.write( "Scientific notation usually means the mantissa or significand (the first part) is between 1 and 10.
\n" ); document.write( "Since yours is 27.9, you need to modify it.
\n" ); document.write( "\"27.9=2.79x10%5E1\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%284.5x10%5E4%29+%2A+%286.2x10%5E3%29=+2.79x10%5E1%2A%2810%5E7%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+%284.5x10%5E4%29+%2A+%286.2x10%5E3%29=+2.79x10%5E8\"
