When a whole number is multiplied by a power of ten, the number's digits shift to the left by the number of zeros in the power of ten. In this case, multiplying 5000 by 10^3 (which is 10 raised to the power of 3, or 1000) results in 5000 shifted three places to the left, becoming 5,000,000. This is because 10^3 has three zeros.
