The correct way to write 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 6.202 x 10^23. In the scientific notation, the number is written as a multiplication of a number from 1 to 9 and 10 raised to the adequate power. 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 6.202 x 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Since 10 = 10^1; 100 = 10^2; 1,000 = 10^3, etc. then 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 10^23. Therefore, 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 6.202 x 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 6.202 x 10^23.
