  • Calculations Involving Standard Form

A number is said to be in standard form if the number is expressed in the form 

\(\scriptsize A \: \times \: 10^n\)

Where A is a number between 1 and 10. 

This is often written as 1 < A < 10 n is an integer (Positive or Negative)

A power of 10 (i.e. 10n) is often used in standard form. 

Examples of positive powers of 10 are:

1 = 100 

100 = 102 

1000 = 103 etc.

Examples of negative powers of 10 are:

10-1 = \( \frac{1}{10} \scriptsize \: or \: 0.1 \)

10-2  = \( \frac{1}{100} \scriptsize \: or \: 0.01 \)

10-3  =\( \normalsize \frac{1}{1000} \scriptsize \: or \: \normalsize \frac{1}{10^3} \scriptsize = 0.001 \)

Hence 3500000 can be written in standard form as 3.5 × 106

Similarly, the number 0.00000067 can be written as 6.7 × 10-7
