The given number is $7.985\times {10}^4$ .

Calculation:

For the change a number from scientific notation to standard form

If the exponents of $10$ are positive, then moves the decimal to the right and if the exponents of $10$ are negative, then moves the decimal to the left.

The number of decimal moves to the left or right $=$ the exponent of $10$ is indicated.

The exponents of $10$

  $=4$

Now take the decimal four steps to the right.

Standard form of the number $=79850$

Hence the standard form of the given number is $79850$ .
