Engineers tend to use the most appropriate notation for a given situation, and in many situations, 847 will be a perfectly fine way of expressing the number 847 for an engineer.
The expected answer to this question most probably is 0.847E3 though, which indicates a base number (0.847) is to be multiplied by 10 to the power of 3 (103=1000), thus 0.845E3 = 0.847 * 103 = 847.
Engineering notation becomes more appealing with much larger numbers, or numbers much smaller than one (regardless of the number's sign). As a rule of thumb, you should consider using engineering notation for numbers that make you squint and count the zeroes. Straight-forward numbers such as 847 do not benefit from such complication. Engineers are pragmatic people.

What is 89000 in engineering notation?
89,000 in engineering notation is 89 x 10^3
What is 934000000 in engineering notation?
Engineering notation has to be a factor of 1000. (10^3, 10^6, 20^9, etc.
Why in engineering you use engineering notation instead of scientific notation?
Sometimes engineers use either scientific or engineering notation, although you are correct that most of the time engineering notation is used. The reason for this the use if greek letter prefixes for quantities. Very often large and small quantities are expressed as micro, mega, giga, nano, and so on. These terms relate to engineering notation in multiples of 1000 or 1/1000. It is a very convenient shorthand not only in writing but also while speaking.
How can the number 3300000 be expressed in engineering notation?
3.3 x 10^6
What is theoretical engineering?
Speaking as a young, self taught software engineer, Googling the issue it seems that there is no straight answer yet. Lots of people shoot the idea down as it being physics but that isn't really true since:Physics is mostly about studying how the world works, not getting the most out of itGenetic engineering, highway engineering, software engineering, social engineering etc... All have little to no direct use of "pure" physics to my knowledge.Personally I think that when theoretical engineering is defined it will have a general thinking process that goes as follows:We have this starting point and this desired outcome. The relationship can be explained by this piece of notation that looks like maths but isn't.We will need components that follow these not exactly mathematical behaviors.And we'll combine them as described here.

What is the number 3300 expressed as in scientific notation and engineering notation?
Scientific notation: 3.3*103 And I'm not certain, but I think it is also 3.3*103 in engineering notation

Is 35.9x10x23 a valid example for scientific notation?
No, that is engineering notation. 3.59 X 10^24 is the same number in scientific notation.
What is 209000 in engineering notation?
In engineering notation 209 x 10³ or 0.209 x 10^6 would be the most likely used powers of 10. In scientific notation it would be 2.09 x 10^5
