Solve (-10^4)*(5*10^5)*(3*10^2)

$$( - 10 ^ { 4 } ) \cdot ( 5 \times 10 ^ { 5 } ) \cdot ( 3 \times 10 ^ { 2 } )$$

Evaluate

$$-1500000000000$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 5 and 2 to get 7.

$$\left(-10^{4}\right)\times 5\times 10^{7}\times 3$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 4 and get 10000.

$$-10000\times 5\times 10^{7}\times 3$$

Multiply -10000 and 5 to get -50000.

$$-50000\times 10^{7}\times 3$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 7 and get 10000000.

$$-50000\times 10000000\times 3$$

Multiply -50000 and 10000000 to get -500000000000.

$$-500000000000\times 3$$

Multiply -500000000000 and 3 to get -1500000000000.

$$-1500000000000$$

Factor

$$-1500000000000$$
