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.

Why is the si metric SI system called a decimal system of measurement?
The SI (International System of Units) is called a decimal system of measurement because it is based on powers of ten, making it easy to convert between units by simply moving the decimal point. Each unit in the SI system is defined in relation to base units, and prefixes such as kilo-, centi-, and milli- indicate multiples or fractions of ten. This structure simplifies calculations and enhances clarity in scientific and everyday measurements.
