How do you write 170 in scientific notation?


To write 170 in scientific notation, follow these steps:

1. Move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left. For 170, this means moving the decimal 2 places to the left, so it becomes **1.70**.
   
2. Multiply by 10 raised to the number of places you moved the decimal. In this case, since we moved it 2 places, the exponent will be 2.

Thus, **170** in scientific notation is:
\[
1.70 \times 10^2
\]
