Understanding Powers of Ten
Powers of ten are a way of expressing numbers based on multiplying 10 by itself a certain number of times. The exponent indicates how many times 10 is multiplied together. For example, 103 (10 to the power of 3) is 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000.
Examples:
- 100 = 1 (Any number to the power of 0 is 1)
- 101 = 10
- 102 = 100
- 103 = 1,000
- 106 = 1,000,000 (One million)
- 10-1 = 0.1
- 10-2 = 0.01
Uses: Powers of ten are fundamental in scientific notation for expressing very large or very small numbers concisely. They are also used in the metric system, computer science (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes), and many other fields.
