Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers so that they are easier to read and work with. This is done by expressing a number as the product of a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 and an integral power of 10.
The number in the question is given to be:
[tex]$4,054,402,710$[/tex]
If we were to move the decimal point at the end of the number to the position behind 4, we will have the number as shown below:
If we count the number of places we move the decimal place, it is 9 places:
Therefore, the number in scientific notation is:
[tex]4.05\times10^9[/tex]
