Powers of Ten
Numbers can be written in a shorter form with exponents.
One thousand is a power of ten because it can be written
as 10 with an exponent. The exponent is 3 because you
multiply 3 factors of 10 to get 1,000.
Similarly, 100,000 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10 5.
The system we use to write numbers is based on powers of ten.
Notice that 10 power 1 equals 10 and 10 power 0 equals 1
The following shows 7,562,305,100 in expanded notation with exponents.
7,562,305,100 =
 
(7 x 109) + (5 x 108) + (6 x 107) + (2 x 106) + (3 x 105) +
(5 x 103) + (1 x 102)
