To write a number in scientific notation, we start counting from the last number by the right towards the first number by the left.
The scientific notation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2.051\text{ }\times10^{number\text{ of movement of the point}} \\ number\text{ of movement of the point = 8} \\ \text{The power is positive because we are moving from right to left} \\ =\text{ 2.051}\times10^8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
