![]() For example, (4/5) -2 can be written as (5/4) 2. This means that we write the reciprocal of the number and then solve it like positive exponents. We know that a negative power ( negative exponent) is defined as the multiplicative inverse of the base. The negative powers of 10 are expressed in a different way. Similarly, we have some specific names for some positive powers of 10 which are given in the following table. ![]() For example, 10 6 (10 to the power of 6) is known as a 'million' and the SI prefix of 10 power 6 is 'giga' which is represented by the SI symbol G. The powers of 10 have some specific names (though not all powers) for some specific powers. The following table shows the powers of 10 chart which includes positive powers and negative powers. And if we write it in the form of a fraction it will be 1/100000. Now, the value of 10 -5 in the decimal form will be 0.00001. Similarly, if we write 10 -5 in the expanded form, it will be 10 -5 = 1/(10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10). And if we write it in the form of a fraction it will be 100000/1. Now, the value of 10 5 in the decimal form will be 100000. For example, if we write 10 5 in the expanded form, it will be 10 5 = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10. The powers of 10 chart shows that the different powers of 10 have different values. Here, we placed 5 zeros after the decimal point (followed by 1) as the power was a negative 6 and 6 - 1 = 5.
