The form that uses only powers of ten are logarithms to base 10. The scientific notation does use powers of ten but the original number is also used in this representation.
Multiplying a real number by a positive power of ten moves the decimal point that number (the exponent) of places to the right. Multiplying by a negative power of ten moves it to the left. For example, the -3 power of 10 is 1/1000; multiplying by that moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.

SI uses powers of 10.
25 When you are multiplying anything by ten, move the decimal to the right one spot, and you have your answer.
x5 * x.5
Multiplying each factor by powers of ten
To write powers of ten (exponential form) you need to make sure you know that you are multiplying 10*10 each time, not 10*2 etc. An example of this 102 which equals 100 because 10*10 is 100.
It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
When multiplying by ten the digits shift to the left
positive powers of ten are standard form, this is when large numbers are simplified to make math easier e.g 100000000 is 1x10^9
Powers of Ten was created in 1968.
why does multiplying numbers by ten move the decimal point to the right
The duration of Powers of Ten is 540.0 seconds.
Numbers that are formed by multiplying ten by itself a certain number of times ex. ten to the third power= 10,000. you add that number of zeros to the end of ten. 10 3= 10,000 Wiki Answers doesn't know yet. Please try again in another power of ten years.
