How many zeros are in 1/10000000?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops,, its 8 zeros
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I count 7. Are you saying it was supposed to be 8 originally?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. since 100000000 is in the denominator, make the 8 negative. 1/10000000 = 10^-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the number of zeros is the exponent on 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh, Okay thank you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you're welcome
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
@peachpi thanks for refreshing my memory on that... I saw the problem with 100000000 which is 10 to a positive exponent until I saw that fraction 1/ that number... and then while reading your comment, it just occurred to me that 1/ that number is related to (that number)^-{exponent}
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
blah I meant (10)^{-exponent}
