Identify Components: Identify the components of the multiplication problem.We have: 1×104(8 \times 10^4)Group the coefficients and power terms together.Coefficients: 1 and 8Power terms: 104 and 104
Multiply Coefficients: Multiply the coefficients.What is 1×8? Multiply the coefficients.1×8=8
Combine Power Terms: Combine the power terms.Write 104×104 as a single power of 10. When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.104×104=104+4=108
Final Scientific Notation: Write the final answer in scientific notation.We found:Coefficient = 8Power term = 108Combine the coefficient and the power term to write the final answer in scientific notation.Scientific notation: 8×108
