Exponent






Base









But how do we multiply by powers of ten?





To Multiply by ten,I use a method called bouncing.
I am using 10 to the power of 2.
What I do, is that I will bounce seven twice across the chart.



millions 100 th 10 th thousan
d
hundred tens units . 1/10 1/100
7 8 9
789000
But how do I divide by powers of ten?






I do the same thing,but instead we bounce backwards.



So 456 will look like.












7 9 8 0 0 0 .
4 5 6
4 . 5 6
