[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To convert a number to scientific notation, you need to express it in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a decimal number between 1 and 10, and "b" is an integer representing the exponent.

In this case, the number is approximately 0.0000115741. To convert it to scientific notation:

1. Start by moving the decimal point to the right so that there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, moving it 4 places to the right gives us: 1.15741.

2. Now, count the number of places that you moved the decimal point. In this case, it is 4 places.

3. Write the number in scientific notation as "1.15741 × 10^b", where "b" is the number of places you moved the decimal point. In this case, "b" is 4.

So, approximately 0.0000115741 in scientific notation is 1.15741 × 10^-5.
