Standard form is used in expressing large numbers in smaller numbers. It is used to transform large numbers into smaller number.
In order to write a number in standard form, the number is written as a decimal number, between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10.

The first step is to determine how many words he can type in 1 hour : 40 x 60 = 2400 words = 2.4 x 10³
The second step is to divide 3.2 x 10^5 words by 2.4 x 10³
3.2 x 10^5 ÷ 2.4 x 10³ = 1.33 x 10^(5 - 3)
1.33 x 10^2 hours
