Powers of 10 (Simplifying Math)

This tutorial shows how positive powers of 10 make numbers larger by shifting the decimal to the right. We also do that in reverse making larger numbers into scientific notation.

My school is very behind in math so my mom is putting me in a new school, I have to take a test to get in and I am basically trying to teach myself 6th grade math. I’m going into 7th but we were still doing 5th at my old school. Thanks for helping me 👌🏻

[@EricBuffington]

Here's a free test to see if you've mastered everything from 6th grade, and a course to fill the gaps. At least take the free test to see what you do and do not know from 6th grade.

Amazing explanation, thank you so much!
I got a question on a test that I couldn't understand how to solve so I probably answered wrong and there's no going back, but I still want to know what's the right way. The question was to write half of the number 10⁵⁰⁰ in scientific notation... Could you please explain what I should have done, or maybe you have a video about it already?

We use base 10 because that is the base system of our numbers 1, 10, 100. It is what our place values are based on.
