Key Concepts

  • Use pattern and mental math to multiply a whole number by a power of 10

Multiply greater number by powers of 10 

A power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times.  

The first few non-negative powers of ten are: 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000,  

10,000,000.

Use pattern and mental math to multiply a whole number by a power of 10 

Example 1: 

Power of 10 using place value relationship: 

Find 26 x 10, 000 by using place value relationships. 

parallel

Solution: 

Multiply 26 by 1; 10; 100 and 10, 000; 

26 x 1 = 26 ones = 26 

26 x 10 = 26 tens = 260 

26 x 100 = 26 hundreds = 2,600 

26 x 1,000 = 26 thousands=26, 000 

26 x 10, 000 = 26 ten thousand =260,000

Find 26 x 10, 000 by using exponents. 

Solution: 

Multiply 26 by 1; 10; 100 and 10, 000; 

26 x 1 = 26 x 100 =26 

26 x 10 = 26 x 10 1 = 260 

26 x 100 = 26 x 102 = 2,600 

26 x 1,000 = 26 x 103=26, 000 

26 x 10, 000 = 26 x 104 = 260,000

Example 2: 

Power of 10 using place value relationship: 

Find 67 x 10, 000 by using place value relationships. 

Solution: 

Multiply 67 by 1; 10; 100 and 10, 000; 

67 x 1 = 67 ones =67 

67 x 10 = 67 tens = 670 

67 x 100 = 67 hundreds = 6,700 

67 x 1,000 = 67 thousands=67, 000 

67 x 10, 000 = 67 ten thousand =670,000
