The exponent in this case is the small number written in superscript (raised) to the right of the 10.

You evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4.
It is 2.5/(10*10*10*10) or 2.5*0.0001
That means that powers are used in which the base is 10. It is also implied that the exponent is an integer.
That means that powers are used in which the base is 10. It is also implied that the exponent is an integer.
You can convert that to scientific notation in which the exponent is a multiple of 3. Use the closest powers of ten: either 10-6 and use the prefix "micro", or 10-9 and use the prefix "nano".
