Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Take the original number and move the decimal from right to left, one place at a time. Stop just next to the last number, and count the number of times you moved the decimal. The number of times it moved is the exponent of 10. See examples below:

285 is the same as 2.85 x 10^2

3721 is the same as 3.7 x 10^3

88700000 is the same as: 8.87 x 10^7

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
