<span>The fifth power of ten would not be represented. Each individual digit would be shown as a power of ten. 982 would be the sum of: 9 times 100. (100 is 10 to the second power) plus 8 times 10. (10 is 10 to the first power.) plus 2 times 1. (I is 10 to the zero power.)
The only significant digit represented by a zero is the "hundred thousands" (100,000 is 10 to the fifth power.)</span>
