3.77×103=37700

Explanation:

In scientific notation, we write a number so that it has single digit to the left of decimal sign and is multiplied by an integer power of 10.

In other words, in scientific notation, a number is written as a×10n, where 1a<10 and n is an integer and 1a<10.

To write the number in normal or standard notation one just needs to multiply by the power 10n (or divide if n is negative). This means moving decimal n digits to right if multiplying by 10n and moving decimal n digits to left if dividing by 10n (i.e. multiplying by 10n).

In the given case, as we have the number as 3.77×104, we need to move decimal digit to the right by four points. For this, let us write 3.77 as 3.770000 and moving decimal point four points to right means 37700.00

Hence in standard notation 3.77×103=37700
