How do you write 716948 in expanded form?

Answer 1

The first step in representing a number in expanded form is to divide it by a power of 10 until the greatest place value is the units. In this case we can divide by 100,000 to get 7.16948

Next you need to indicate the power of ten that was used. We used 100,000 which is the fifth power of ten, or 105. This needs to be added after the above answer as a multiplication.

Thus, 716948 in expanded form is 7.16948x105
