Answer:

7.77×10^4=77,700

Step-by-step explanation:

10^4 is 10,000, since there are 4 zeros in 10,000, move the decimal in 7.77 4 spaces to the right.

1: 77.7

2: 777.

3: 7,770.

4 77,700.

Side note: This trick ONLY works with +/-10^x value. If the value is positive the decimal moves to the right, and if the value is negative the decimal moves to the left.

Example: 7.77×(-10)^3=.00777

(-10)×(-10)×(-10)=(-10)^3= -1000

1: .777

2: .0777

3: .00777
