$8.7 \times 10^{25}, 1.0 \times 10^{26}, 5.7 \times 10^{26}, 3.7 \times 10^{27}$ are arranged from least to greatest. --> TRUE Recall that scientific notations are expressed in the form $a \times 10^{n}$. The value of $n$ tell us how many numbers of places the decimal point will move, which also corresponds to the number of zeros that will be added to the numerical factor $a$. In this case, since the values of $n$ are all positive, therefore larger the value of $n$, the larger the number.
