How to express the number16000 in exponential form in the easiest way?

To do: Express $16000 $in exponential form

Solution:

In scientific notation or standard form, every number is expressed as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.

$16000$ in exponential form or the standard or scientific notation is

$16000 = 1.6 \times 10^4  $

Another way representing 16000 as a product of exponents of its prime factors.

$16000 =2  \times 2  \times 2  \times  2  \times  2  \times 2  \times  2  \times  5  \times  5  \times  5$

              = $2^7  \times  5^3 $

Therefore the exponential form of $16000 \ is \ 2^7  \times  5^3  $
