Solution steps

Scientific notation is in the form

a \times 1 0^{b}

where

1 \leq a < 10

and

b

is an integer.

Move the decimal point to the \mathrm{left} to create a new number from 1 up to 10

a = 4.00000 \dots

Count the number of times you moved the decimal point

b = 9

= 4.00000 \dots \times 1 0^{9}

Remove trailing zeroes

= 4 \times 1 0^{9}
