Best Answer

Standard form is a way of writing large numbers or very small number easily. For example, if we have 5000, we will write it as 5 * 103 in standard form. The exponent of 3 represents how many 0's there are in the number.

An example of writing a very small number is .0005

We write it as 5 * 10-4 in standard form. The negative sign in the exponent tells us that the number is a decimal. We write -4 because we've moved the number (5) 4 places to the right.
