Whole Numbers in Standard Form

A number is said to be in standard form if it is expressed in the form of \(A × 10^n\). Where \(1< A < 10\) and \(n\) is an integer (positive or negative whole numbers). Standard form is very useful in the field of sciences and social sciences for easy presentations and analysis. Examples of numbers in standard form include \(4 × 10^9\), \(5.8 × 10^2\), \(5.62 × 10^4\), etc.

Examples:

1. Write the following in standard form:

(a) \(90 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000\)

(b) \(6 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000\)

(c) \(34256.189\)

(d) \(879.45\)

Solutions:

(a) \(90 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 = 9 × 10 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000\)

\(= 9 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10\)

\(= 9 × 10^7\)

(b) \(6 × 1000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000 \text{ } 000\)

\(= 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10\) \(× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10\) \(× 10 × 10 × 10 × 10\)

\(= 6 × 10^{18}\)

(c) \(34256.189 = 3.4256189 × 10 \text{ } 000\)

\(= 3.4256189 × 10^4\)

(d) \(879.45 = 8.7945 × 100\)

\(= 8.7945 10 × 10\)

\(= 8.7945 × 10^2\)
