the corresponding exponent of 10 Explanation: If my memory serves me correctly.... ;@) https://www.chem.tamu.edu/class/fyp/mathrev/mr-scnot.html "As you can see, the exponent of 10 is the number of places the decimal point must be shifted to give the number in long form. A positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the right. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2018-11-13 13:29:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.astronomynotes.com/mathrev/s3.htm The exponent of 10 tells you how many places to move the decimal point to the right for positive exponents or left for negative exponents. These rules come in especially handy for writing very large or very small numbers. |
