To write 2.3 million in scientific notation, follow these steps:

Recognize that 2.3 million is 2,300,000.
To convert this into scientific notation, express the number as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.
Move the decimal point in 2,300,000 so that only one non-zero digit remains to the left of the decimal. In this case, move the decimal point 6 places to the left, so it becomes 2.3.
Now, write the number as 2.3 × 10^6.
Thus, 2.3 million in scientific notation is 2.3 × 10^6.
