Best Answer

If the exponent is positive, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent. If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent.

Examples:

2.5 x 103 is 2500 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the right 3 spaces.)

4.9 x 10-5 is 0.000049 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the left 5 spaces.)
