How can we represent a number in the standard form of exponents and powers?

The standard form of exponents and powers

If a quantity is written as the product of a power of 10 and a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, then the quantity is said to be expressed in standard form (or scientific notation). It is also known as the exponential form.

Example:

We write 65 = 6.5 x 10^1 in the standard form or scientific form

                  0.065 = 6.5 x 10^-2

                  650000 = 6.5 x10^5 and so on
