To format your number in this way, we'll divide the 65300 by 10, 4time(s), making it a 6.53.
We do this, because each division by 10 moves the decimal point to the left one digit.
But in order to keep our number the same number, we must have a × 104 next to the 6.53.
So, the final answer is 6.53 × 104
Scientific Notation= 6.53 x 104
Hope this helps. (:
