Solve 1.2*10^3*10*100*20*10^-6

$$1.2 \times 10 ^ { 3 } \times 10 \times 100 \times 20 \times 10 ^ { - 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$24$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$1.2\times 10^{4}\times 100\times 20\times 10^{-6}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 4 and -6 to get -2.

$$1.2\times 10^{-2}\times 100\times 20$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -2 and get \frac{1}{100}.

$$1.2\times \frac{1}{100}\times 100\times 20$$

Multiply 1.2 and \frac{1}{100} to get \frac{3}{250}.

$$\frac{3}{250}\times 100\times 20$$

Multiply \frac{3}{250} and 100 to get \frac{6}{5}.

$$\frac{6}{5}\times 20$$

Multiply \frac{6}{5} and 20 to get 24.

$$24$$

Factor

$$3\times 2^{3}$$
