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 sequence of digits as the original number. The exponent (power)
of the base 10 is always equal to the number of places the decimal point is moved. The exponent is
POSITIVE when the decimal point is moved to the LEFT; the exponent is NEGATIVE when the decimal
point is moved to the RIGHT.
