What is the answer to 7.167 times 10 to the 23 power?

Answer 1

You have scientific notation, expressed in words. That is the normal way of stating a figure like that. 7.167 x 1023 .

That means you have 23 digits between the 7 and the decimal point. You could write it out:

716700000000000000000000,

but what's the use of that? Whoever reads it just has to count zeros again to make it something useful.

Yes, you can put commas in:

716,700,000,000,000,000,000,000

and remember in American English we name groups of three digits thousands, hundred thousands, millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, quintillions, sextillions, septillions .... and then call it:

716 sextillions, 700 quintillion.

That really helps!
