Rules associated with powers of ten are as follows:
Rule 1: To express numbers larger than 1 as a small number times a power of 10, move
the decimal point to the left as many places as desired. Then multiply the number
obtained by 10 to a power that is equal to the number of places moved.
Example: To convert 6,000,000, move the decimal point 6 places to the left
(6.000,000), then multiply 6 times 10 raised to a power equal to the
number of decimal places moved, obtaining 6 x 106.
6,000,000 = 6 x 106
