Remember
  • Each place is 10 times the place to its right and 1/10 of the place to its left.
  • The exponent of a power of 10 tells how many 10s are multiplied and how many zeros the value has.
  • Multiplying by a power of 10 moves the decimal point right by the exponent.
  • Dividing by a power of 10 moves the decimal point left by the exponent.
  • 10 to the third power means 10 × 10 × 10 = 1,000, not 3 × 10.
