To convert a number to standard form, you need to express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

Here are the steps to convert a number to standard form:

1.Count the number of digits in the original number.

2.If the original number is greater than or equal to 10, then move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. This will be the power of 10 in the standard form.

3.If the original number is less than 1, then move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. This will be a negative power of 10 in the standard form.

4.Write the original number with the decimal point in its new position, and multiply it by 10 raised to the power determined in step 2 or step 3.
