Here we wish to write the number 0.000347 as a coefficient times 10 raised to an exponent.
To convert to scientific notation, start by moving the decimal place in the number until you have a number between+1 and 10; here it is 3.47.
The number of places to the left that you had to move the decimal point is-+the-+exponent.
Here, we had to move the decimal 4 places to the right, so the exponent is -4. If we have to move the decimal point to the left, then we will have a positive number as an exponent.
So, we have:
0.000347+=+3.47%2A10%5E-4
