Express the following number in scientific notation. \[ 850 \times 10^{6} \] \[ 850 \times 10^{6}= \] (Type your answer in scientific notation, using the appropriate symbol from the math palette for any multiplication.)

Step 1 ：The given number is \(850 imes 10^{6}\).

Step 2 ：The scientific notation of a number is expressed as a decimal number between 1.0 and 10.0 multiplied by a power of 10.

Step 3 ：We need to convert 850 to a decimal number between 1.0 and 10.0, and adjust the power of 10 accordingly.

Step 4 ：850 becomes 8.5 and the power of 10 increases by 1 to become 10^{7}.

Step 5 ：So, \(850 imes 10^{6} = 8.5 imes 10^{8}\).

Step 6 ：Final Answer: \(850 imes 10^{6} = \boxed{8.5 imes 10^{8}}\)
