Answer for screen readers

The standard form of 5,00,00,000 is $5.0 \times 10^7$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the number in numerical form
    The number given is 5,00,00,000. This can be written in standard numerical format as 50000000.

  2. Moving the decimal point
    To express this number in standard form (scientific notation), first identify where to place the decimal. For 50000000, the decimal point is after the last zero: 50000000.0.

  3. Shifting the decimal
    Now, move the decimal point to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, move the decimal 7 places to the left:
    $$ 50000000 = 5.0 $$

  4. Counting the power of ten
    Since you moved the decimal 7 places to the left, this means you will multiply by $10^7$. Thus, the final expression in scientific notation is:
    $$ 5.0 \times 10^7 $$

The standard form of 5,00,00,000 is $5.0 \times 10^7$.

More Information

Standard form, or scientific notation, helps express large numbers in a compact format, making them easier to read and use in calculations.

Tips

  • Not moving the decimal point the correct number of places. Always count accurately from the original position of the decimal.
  • Forgetting to include the exponent when expressing the number in scientific notation. Ensure you note how many places you've moved the decimal.
