$(3.2 times 10^6)cdot(8.7 times 10^{11})$

by grouping the digit terms together and the exponential terms together,

$=(3.2 cdot 8.7) times (10^6 cdot 10^{11})$

by multiplying out,

$=27.84 times 10^{17}$

by rewriting it in scientific notation,

$=2.784 times 10^{18}$

I hope that this was helpful.
