Powers of 10

The numerical value that a digit has based on its position in a number.

A small raised number used in exponential notation to tell how many times the base is used as a factor. For example, in 10³ the base is 10, the exponent is 3, and 10³ = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000. Same as a power.

A way to write large numbers written using ten to a power, or exponent.

A number system in which each number is 10 times the value to the right of it.

Any one of the symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the base-ten number system.

A number written in the standard format, such as 100.

A number written as a word, such as one hundred.

A number written as repeated multiplication, such as 10 × 10.

A way to write repeated multiplication using a base and exponent. For example, in the exponential expression 10², the base 10 is used as a factor 2 times to represent 10 × 10 = 100.
