So as chat has a lot of posters I thought I would try here.
Could someone please explain to me how this works. ? What is 10 to the power of 3. I know the answer is 1000, but I don't know how to work it out. Also can you give me other examples so I can hopefully find out how to do it. Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Jumping in here the minus just means 1 divided by the number raised to the power
eg 10 ^-1 means 1/10 or 0.1
10^-2 means 1/(10x10) =1/100 or 0.01
10^-3 measn 1/(10x10x10)= 1/1000 or 0.001
etc -Difficult to explain without the correct typeface. When doing powers of 10 it's easy to get the answer because it's always 1 plus the number of noughts equal to the powere raised eg 10^5 = 100,000
