Question

Write 14500 in standard form

Answer 1

14500 in standard form is:

$1.45 \times 10^4$

Solution:

Given that, we have to write 14500 in standard form

Standard form means writing very large numbers easily

From given,

14500

Step 1:

Move the decimal point in 14500 until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point ( 1.45 )

Here, we move the decimal point left to 4 decimal places

Since, we moved left to 4 decimal places, exponent is positive

Therefore,

$14500 = 1.45 \times 10^4$

Thus the standard form is found
