Question

How do you express `6.14 * 10^3` without exponents?

Answer 1

`6.14 xx1000 = 6,140`

Explanation:

This form is known as scientific notation and it is useful for writing very big or very numbers using powers of 10,

`6.14xx10^3 " means the same as " 6.14 xx 10xx10xx10`

We could also just write this as `6.14 xx1000`

When we multiply by 10 we can just move the decimal point to the right each time.

`6.14 xx1000 = 6,140`
