Standard Form is used a lot in maths andscience as a convenient way of writing very

large, or very small numbers for example:

The distance from the earth to the sun is

149 000 000 km

A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about

0.000 000 2 mm

huge!

microscopic!

Learn

Let’s deal with large numbers first.

Look at how these numbers have been broken down:

500 = 5 × 100

5000 = 5 × 1 000

50 000 = 5 × 10 000you know how to writethese as powers of 10

= 5 × 102

= 5 × 103

= 5 × 104

Learn

What about these?

550

5 500

55 000

= 5.5 × 100 = 5.5 × 102

= 5.5 × 1 000

= 5.5 × 10 000

= 5.5 × 103

= 5.5 × 104

Learn

Put these numbers into standard form:

6 000

9 000

4 00 000

80 000

400 450

4 000

550003500

750 000

= 6 × 103

= 4 × 102

= 8 × 104

= 9 × 103

= 4 × 105

= 4 × 103

= 4.5 × 102

= 5.5 × 104

= 3.5 × 103

= 7.5 × 105

Learn

Standard form is:

a number between 1

and 10× a power

of ten

but not including 10 positive or negative

Learn

Now try writing these numbers in standard form:

5 000 000

5 500 000

5 250 000

5 100 000

5 156 342

= 5 × 106

= 5.5 × 106

= 5.25 × 106

= 5.1 × 106

= 5.156342 × 106

Apply

Reverse! Change each of these numbers to an ordinary number

6 × 102

2 × 103

5 × 107

9 × 108

3.7 × 109

2.8 × 101

9.9 × 1010

7.1 × 104

3.97 × 102

8.172 × 102

Learn

The next stage is to write very small numbers, i.e. numbers less than 1

Check that you understand about negative powers of 10
