How do you wright twenty-five thousand in expanded form? - Answers

To write a number in expanded form, you first have to divide that number by a power of 10 that produces an answer where the greatest place value digit is units. In this case, we can divide by 10,000 to get 2.5. The next step is to express the power of 10 we used alongside the number as a multiplication. We divided by 10,000 which is the fourth power of 10 or 104. Thus 25,000 in expanded form is 2.5x104
