The standard form of a number converts a large number in short form using the power of 10.

First number is:

1.57828282E5

As you mentioned the numbers are technology generated hence E^x = 10^x. For example, in Matlab, you can write 10^5 as E^5.

Hence, the standard form of the number would be

1.57828282 x 10^5

While the ordinary form would be

157828.282

Similarly, the standard form of the second number would be:

6.82 x 10^-8
