One billionth = 10-9
A negative exponent indicates division by the base. For example: 8 -3 = 1/(83)= 1/672
A negative exponent indicates repeated division of a number by itself. Specifically, ( a^{-n} ) is equivalent to ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), meaning you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. This operation reflects the concept that negative exponents represent the inverse of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent.

To show 198,000 as a power of 10 using an exponent, we need to express it in scientific notation. 198,000 can be written as 1.98 x 10^5. In this representation, the decimal point is moved 5 places to the left to make the number between 1 and 10, and the exponent indicates how many places the decimal point was moved.
#include <math.h> and link to the math library, then you can use pow(base, exponent).
2^4 * 3^2 * 5^3 * 11 1.98 x 10^5
The minus (unary) operator is of lower precedence than the exponent. To force the square of a negative on some calculators you may need to surround the number in parentheses. E.g.
No, an exponent does.
1000 = 10x10x10 = 103.The 3 is an exponent. It tells you how many times 10 is multiplied by itself to get 1000.
an exponent
The exponent in this case is the small number written in superscript (raised) to the right of the 10.
A base raised to a negative power is equal to 1 divided by that base raised to a positive exponent. So 16 raised to (-3/2) is equal to 1/ (16 raised 3/2), or 1/64.
