To multiply by a positive power of ten, just add the number of zeroes as the number of the exponent. For example, if you have 103 which is 10 times 10 times 10, you will get 1,000. Hope this helps!

What is the standard notation of 6.004 times 10 to the 7 power?

6.004 x 107 = 6.004 x 10,000,000 = 60,040,000 Alternatively, in multiplying by a power of 10, move the decimal point the power number of digits right (positive) or left (negative), inserting zeros if you run out of digits: 6.004 x 107 the power of 10 is 7, so move decimal point 7 digits right after 3 moves run out of digits, so insert 4 zeros → 60,040,000. Multiplying by a negative power of 10 is the same as dividing by the positive power of 10, eg x 10-3 is the same as ÷ 103.


Which pattern describe how the decimal point moves when you multiply a decimal number by any power of ten?

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.


What is the mathematical rule for multiplying by 10?

Multiplying a whole number by 10 adds a zero onto the end of the number. For example, 7 x 10 = 70.Multiplying a decimal number by 10 moves the decimal point one place to the right. For example, 3.75 x 10 = 37.5.
