To write in the expanded form with exponents, we can start by the units, the number at the right and.

Since it is the units places, the exponent is:


1=10^0

And the value is the number in this place, which is 6:

12,756:


6*1=6*10^0

Now, we go for the number to its left. Since it is in the next place, the exponent is incremented by 1, because this is the tens place:


10=10^1

And the value is now the number in this place:

12,756:


5*10^1

We continue this:

12,756:


7*10^2

12,756:


2*10^3

12,756:


1*10^4

Now, we add them all to get the expanded form of 12,756:


1*10^4+2*10^3+7*10^2+5*10^1+6*10^0^{}
