Usually referred to as exponential notation, this form of numerical expression lets you move the decimal point in an equation to simplify the writing and remove the following or leading zeros. To multiply exponential notation you add the exponents and to divide the two expressions you subtract the exponents all as a base of 10.

2,000 = 2 x 10 to the third power. (10^3)

2,000,000,000 divided by 2,000 = 2 x 10^9 - 2 x 10^3 = 2 x 10^6
