I think you are referring to scientific notation in which you read numbers multiplied by ten and to the power of whatever.
Example: You can write 1,000,000.0, or you can write 1.0 x 10 to the sixth power
or for numbers with a value less than 1
Example: You can write 0.000001, or you can write 1.0 x 10 to the negative sixth power
Either way you write it the number is the same.
