Form

a \times 10^{n}

1 ≤ |a| < 10, n an integer

Multiply

(a \times 10^{m}) (b \times 10^{n}) = (a \times b) \times 10^{m + n}

Divide

\frac{a \times 10^{m}}{b \times 10^{n}} = \frac{a}{b} \times 10^{m - n}

Power

(a \times 10^{m})^{n} = a^{n} \times 10^{m n}

Trouble with a formula often traces back to an earlier skill. Our free check-in finds the exact gap. A tutor then works on it with your child.
