Step 1. Define an expression.

A mathematical expression is a combinations of numbers and variables ordered with mathematical operations.

Step 2. Define scientific notation.

A number written in scientific notation is of the form $a \times 10^{n}$ , where $1 \leq a < 10$ and $n$ is an integer.

Step 3. Write the best description for the expression, 6.2×105.

Compare the expression, $6.2 \times 10^{5}$ with $a \times 10^{n}$ .

This gives $a = 6.2$ and $n = 5$ .

Since $1 \leq 6.2 < 10$ and 5 is an integer.

So, it can be termed as a scientific notation.

Therefore the given expression can be best described as a scientific notation.
