See the related link about Standard Form. Standard form involves moving the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, then multiplying by an appropriate power of ten. If you moved the decimal point to the left, then the exponent of ten will be positive. If you moved the decimal point to the right, then the exponent of ten will be negative. The value of the exponent is equal to the number of places that the decimal is moved.
Example:
Do nothing! Standard form and scientific notation are the same.
That already is in standard form.
By using scientific notation which reduces the digits required in very large numbers but retains their original values.
Writing numbers in standard form is writing numbers regular. For example One million in standard form is 1,000,000.
Standard form
You multiply the factors.
There are many different standard forms: standard forms of numbers, of linear equations, of circles, etc. The standard form of numbers simplifies working with very large and very small numbers.
41,200,000 in standard form is written as 4.12 x 10^7. This is because standard form is a way of writing numbers as a coefficient multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, the decimal point is moved 7 places to the left to convert 41,200,000 into 4.12.
Ironically, the phrase "standard form" is not standard! In the UK, standard form is generally taken to refer to the scientific form. In that case, there are nine numbers: 1 to 9.
square
79250000000000000000000 in standard form is 7.925 x 10^22. This is because standard form is a way of writing very large or very small numbers in a more concise format using powers of 10. In this case, we move the decimal point 22 places to the right to convert the number to standard form.
