The number in the statement is already written without exponents, so we need to convert it to scientific notation. Moving the decimal point to the left until we have a number between 1 and 10, we get:

2.038000

Now count the number of places you moved the decimal point to get this number. In this case, we moved it 6 places to the left. Therefore, the number in scientific notation is:

2.038 x 10^6

If the Number in the Statement Is Written in Scientific 2,038,0002,038,0002,038,000

If the Number in the Statement Is Written in Scientific $2,038,000$
