1,000 = 103
100 = 102
10 = 101
1 = 100
Notice that 100 = 1
.1 = 10-1
.01 = 10-2
.001 = 10-3

Any number can be converted into 2 numbers: A number times a power of 10. The number
times a power of 10 will have the same digit sequence as the original number. The power of
10 and its sign will be determined by the number of places and the direction the decimal point
in the original number is moved.
Examples: 7,900 = 7.9 X 103
because 103
= 1,000
.01 =1 X 10-2
"
10-2
= .01
75 = 7.5 X 101
"
10-1
= 10
.075 = 7.5 X 10-2
"
10-2
= .01
.075 = 75 X 10-3
"
10-3
= .001
.075 = 750 X 10-4
"
10-4
= .0001
