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.
10,000,000 or ten million, A much easier way to figure this out, is that when you are using 10 to the power of ANYTHING just put the number of zeroes as the same number as the exponent. It's so easy!
