If we are moving from a large value to a small value we move the decimal point to the left.
Moving from a smaller value to a larger value.
Move the decimal point one place to the right. If the decimal point is already at the end of the number, add a 0 to the extreme right before moving the decimal point.

Moving from a smaller value to a larger value.
8.0 x 10-7To write this in standard form we need to have one digit (not a 0) in front of the decimal point. We can do this here by moving the decimal point 7 places to the right. As we are moving the decimal point 7 places to the right we are making the number 107 times as large. Therefore we need to multiply by 10-7 to get back to the original number.
Moving from a smaller value to a larger value.
Number to a multiple by a positive power of 10.
Move the decimal point one place to the right. If the decimal point is already at the end of the number, add a 0 to the extreme right before moving the decimal point.
The magnitude or value of the number.
Moving from a smaller value to a larger value.
by moving the decimal two place to the right.
