Scientific Notation requires only one digit to the left of the decimal, so 93 million is 9.3 x 10^7. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with 93.0x 10^6
Here is a modern-day definition for Scientific Notation:
"Numbers written with one digit (not zero) to the left of the decimal place and a power of ten." 2700=2.7x10^3

9.3 x 10^7 is the only way. no variations. the number that's not part of the "10^n" part always has to be between 1.0 (not 0) and 9.999999... So you can only have one number 1-9 to the left of the decimal point. To the right of the decimal point, it can be whatever though.
Because 93 is not between these numbers, you must shift the decimal place over and increase the exponent by the 10 by one.
So if we have something like 0.0000074, 0.74 x 10^-5 and 74 x 10^-7 would both be unacceptable, while 7.4 x 10^-6 is the only right notation.

93.0 x 10^6 in scientific notation?
No, The correct way is 9.3 X 10^7
Scientific notation is always D.DDDD X 10^n, Where d is a digit.

Scientific notation has a single digit before the decimal point, so you'd write 9.3 X 10^7.

9.3 x 10^7 to be exact
The number (in this case, it's 93) has to be between 0 and 10
Hope this helps.
Kind regard,

actually if u are concerned about significant figures then it would be 9.30 x 10^7.
