If the number is larger than 1, then the exponent is positive.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhk. hmm. negative exponent indicates division by 10 and positive exponent indicates multiplication by 10
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
If the larger is less than 1, but greater than zero, then the exponent will be negative
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Ex:
30000 = 3 x 10^4
0.000005 = 5 x 10^(-6)
