it means there are 15 places after the decimal point
Power = 5 = exponent. That is, exponent = 5.
To change a number from standard to scientific notation, move the decimal point to create a number between 1 and 10. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point to get the power of 10. If you moved it to the left, the exponent is positive, and if you moved it to the right, the exponent is negative.
5.61 x 102 , you just move the decimal so that the original number is greater than or equal to one but less than 10 then multiply that by 10 to the power of the number of decimal places you had to move. If you moved the decimal to the left, the exponent is positive, if you moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.
The exponent is 2 - from the SECOND power.

You move the decimal point to the left - by as many digits as the absolute value of the exponent, e.g., if the exponent is -5, you move the decimal digit 5 positions to the left.
The exponent is 2 - from the SECOND power.
10-6 = (1/10)6 = 0.000 001
To put a number into scientific notation, first identify the decimal point's position to get a number between 1 and 10. Then, write this number followed by the multiplication sign "×" and 10 raised to the power of the decimal places the decimal point moved. If the decimal point moves to the left, the exponent is positive, and if it moves to the right, the exponent is negative.
The exponent.
The exponent is TWO.
The exponent is five.
Finding a place value in a terminating decimal is easy. When placing the decimal always remember to place it at the tenth.
