Scientific notation is the representation of a number in a power of ten, with a sequence of digits placing the comma after the first digit, and the power or then that is mathematically consistent with the number. For example 400 is 4.00 * 10^2; 3100 is 3.100 * 10^4; 13421 = 1.3421 * 10 ^4. It is important that you have only one digit before the comma. So, 5,098,00 is 5.098 * 1,000,00 = 5.098 * 10^6. The answer is the option c. 5.098 * 10^6.
