Steps

Step 1 :The question is asking to convert a number from scientific notation to decimal form. In scientific notation, the number a×10b represents the number a moved b places to the right (if b is positive) or to the left (if b is negative). In this case, we have 5.251×106, which means we need to move the decimal point in 5.251 six places to the right.

Step 2 :The decimal form of 5.251×106 is 5251000.0. However, since there are no decimal places, we can drop the .0 and just write the number as 5251000.

Step 3 :Final Answer: 5251000
