Concept used:
To convert a number into scientific notation, we write the given number as product of two numbers. One factor is a number between 1 and 10, while the 2nd factor is power of 10.
When a decimal is to the right of given number, then we need to move the decimal to left such that the number gets between 1 and 10. Then, we multiply the number by power of 10 that many times, we moved the decimal to left.
When a decimal is to the left of given number, then we need to move the decimal to right such that the number gets between 1 and 10. Then, we multiply the number by negative power of 10 that many times, we moved the decimal to right.
Calculation:
To write our given number, we will shift the decimal to left by 5 units. To shift the decimal, we will multiply our number by
Therefore, our given number in scientific notation would be
