The given number is interpreted as 0.015. Shift 2 decimal places to the right, so the exponent for base 10 is -2. Therefore, we obtain 1.5 x 10-2.

1,006 = 1.006 × 103

16 and 2 thousandths (16.002) is expressed in standard form as: 1.6002 × 101

It is: 8.7*103

1.18 × 105

Count the number of spaces to move the decimal until the number has one (non-zero) digit to the left of the decimal. If the original number is larger than 1, then the exponent is positive, if smaller than 1 the exponent is negative. The exponent is that number of spaces that the decimal was moved. EX: 5100 = 5.1 x 102 and 0.00064 = 6.4 x 10-4

0.03^4 = 0.00000081
