For example, ten to the power -5 is the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5).In scientific notation, to expand the number, the negative exponent means that you must move the decimal point the specified number of positions to the LEFT. In the case of a positive exponent, you move the decimal point to the RIGHT, to expand the number.

Do you mean how is it written in scientific notation? 1.01 X 10^6.
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
A positive exponent means that decimals are added to the right of the base number. So 10 X 53 would be 5000. 10 X 5-3 would be .0005
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. So, 10 to the power of -5 is equal to 1 divided by 10 to the power of 5, which is 1/100,000 or 0.00001. This notation is commonly used in scientific notation to represent very small numbers.
If you mean 2,580,000 then it is 2.58*10^6 in scientific notation
