How do you write 16107 in standard form? - Answers

This is how to convert a number into standard form:Write the number with the decimal point after the first non-zero digit (without any leading or trailing zeros) followed by "x 10";Count how many digits the decimal point has to "jump" to get back to its original position (if there was no decimal point, it was "hiding" after the last digit);If the decimal point needs to move left, make it negative, otherwise leave it alone (as positive);Write the number found in steps 3&4 as the power of the "10" added in step 1.Examples:123.4561.23456 x 102 digitsto right, so leave alone1.23456 x 102⇒ 123.456 = 1.23456 x 1021230001.23 x 105 digits (decimal point originally "hiding" after last '0')to right, leave alone1.23 x 105⇒ 123000 = 1.23 x 1050.001231.23 x 103 digitsto left, so make negative (3 → -3)1.23 x 10-3⇒ 0.00123 = 1.23 x 10-3That's how to do it, this is it being done to 16107:1.6107 x 104 digits ("decimal point originally "hiding" after the '7')to right, leave alone1.6107 x 104⇒ 16107 = 1.6107 x 104
