Standard form with a calculator

[wispy flicker]

can someone help me idk what it is.
I got 51900 but idk what the next step is

[austere moth]

standard form is basically used for really really large numbers

like 100000000000000

or really really small numbers such as

0.0000032323

so 51900 in standard form would be 5.19 x 10^4

@wispy flicker

[wispy flicker]

@austere moth how do u get the 10^4?

[austere moth]

you move 4 places to the right to get 51900

2 spaces to get to 519 and then 2 again to get the two 0's

@austere moth for this question

[austere moth]

as a proper number

[wispy flicker]

[wispy flicker]

1500000000

well basically it's 1497142860
