Standard+Form+Notation

When we write numbers in standard form, we always do so in the following form


 * A × 10 ** n

For example:
 * A is always between 1 and 10.
 * n tells us how many places to move the decimal point.

So 6. 60. 600. 6000. 60000.
 * 6 x 10 ** 5 means I’m going to move my decimal point 5 places to the right
 * 600000. **
 * __// 6 with 5 zeros after //__**

6 0.6 0.06 0.006 0.0006
 * 6 x 10 ** -5 means I’m going to move my decimal point 5 places to the left
 * 0.00006 **
 * //__A 6 in the 5th decimal column__// **
