Question

Giveing 15 points!

so im looking at equations and in computer form the way a problem solution looks is different. So in this, "8x10^6/4x10^-3 = 2x10^9. Therefore, mass of elephant = 2x10^9 times mass of ant."
and im wondering to convert to writing style what does ^ mean?
please answer with reasoning.

^ is the symbol used to represent "to the power of". For example, 5 to the power of 2 is the same as 5^2.
