Question

If M = 624,619,430,000 find the smallest power of 10 that will exceed M

Answer 1

The smallest power of 10 that will exceed M is 12.

Solution-

Here,

`M = 624,619,430,000`

Writing this number in scientific notation,

`M = 624,619,430,000 = 6.24619430* 10^(11)`

As the given number is the order of 11, so the next order will be greater than M.

So the next order of 10 will be,

`=10^(11+1)`

`=10^(12)`

Therefore, the smallest power of 10 that will exceed M is 12.
