To express these numbers in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one digit to the left of it. The number of places we move the decimal point to the right will determine the exponent.
364,879 becomes 3.64879 × 105
463,000 becomes 4.63 × 105
436,765 becomes 4.36765 × 105.
Comparing these numbers, the smallest value is 3.64879 × 105 or 364,879.
