Thank you again. Just so I'm absolutely clear, 2.86x108g is equal to 286,000,000g but just not written that way, correct?



yes it is the same number, in different significant numbers (that is why the notation usually is done in powers of 10, aside from the number being smaller to write).

I do not want to confuse you with those significant numbers, so forget about them for now

Haha! I am very easily confused, so it's probably best to just leave it at this for now and hope that I never encounter these significant numbers before the end of the course.

Thank you again, everyone!! :) I hope you won't bang your heads off the wall if I come back with more questions as I work my way through the lessons. I can't afford a tutor and I can't find anywhere local to go for free help. I'm very glad to have stumbled upon this place!
