An exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. 10^3 = 10 x 10 x 10
Assuming the bases are the same, you add the exponents. 10^3 x 10^3 = 10^6
0.007030536883856
One-thousandth, 1 x 10-3
.755 x 10-3 (-3 is an exponent)
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
9000
10 to the third (10)3 = 10 X 10 X10 = 1000
10x 10 is Base & x is exponent
It is 2.5/(10*10*10*10) or 2.5*0.0001
0.0045 = 4.5 x 10-3
You move the decimal point to the left three spaces because the exponent is negative. 3.267 x 10-3 = 0.003267
