10x10x10x10x10 = 100,000

__________________

It is an interesting quirk of the Base Ten system that you can write powers of ten by counting zeroes.

To write "Ten to the Xth power", write a "1" followed by that many zeroes.

So 10 raised to the first power is 10.

10 raised to the second power is 100.

10 raised to the fifth power is a 1 followed by 5 zeroes, or 100,000.

And of course, ten raised to the zeroth power is 1.

10^(-5) = 1/10^5 = 1/100,000

That is one over one hundred thousand. The negative index indicates that the number is a fraction.
