Question

10 to the 6th power multiplied by what equals 10 to the 18th power

Answer 1

You're asking

(10⁶) times (10^p) = 10¹⁸ .

When you multiply two numbers that have the same base
but different exponents, you just add the exponents.

So 6 + p = 18

Subtract 6 from each side: p = 12 .

10⁶ x 10¹² = 10¹⁸ .
