Explain how to write 50,000 using exponents.

Note: The answer can only be one number, but it can have as many exponents as needed.

Asked by Tropicers

Answer (2)

The examples of 50,000 written as an exponent are as follows (but not limited to):
500 * 10^2 50 * 10^3 5 * 10^4 0,5 * 10^5
Doublecheck (optional):
500 * 10^2 = 500 * 100 = 50,000 50 * 10^3 = 50 * 1000 = 50,000 5 * 10^4 = 5 * 10000 = 50,000 0,5 * 10^5 = 0,5 * 100000 = 50,000

50,000 can be written using exponents in different ways, such as 5 × 1 0 4 , 500 × 1 0 2 , 50 × 1 0 3 , or 0.5 × 1 0 5 . These forms indicate how many zeros are added to a base number. Each representation shows how the decimal point moves to express the same value.
