#2.16xx10^6 = 2,160,000#
#color(white)("XXXXXXXXXX")#(perhaps)

Explanation:

The term "standard form" means different things to different people (in different parts of the world).

In many places "standard form" is a synonym for "scientific notation". This is what the other answer posted here assumes.

Also you may find "normal form" as another synonym for "scientific notation".

I expect what you were looking for is the answer given above:
#color(white)("XXXX")2.16xx1000000 = 2,160,000#
but I don't know what term you could use for this form that would be universally accepted.

By the way before I get lots of comments that "standard form" is never used in the way (I assume) you meant, here is a link:
