Question

The value of ${10}^6$ is

• A. $60$
• B. $10,000,000$
• C. $1,000,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1,000,000$

In ${10}^6$,
$\bullet \text{Base}=10$
$\bullet \text{Exponent}=6$

So, ${10}^6$ denotes the base $10$ is multiplied $6$ times.

$\therefore {10}^6=10\times 10\times 10\times 10\times 10\times 10$
$=1,000,000\left(1\text{Million}\right)$

$\underset{–}{\text{Note:}}$ The exponent to the base $10$ denotes the number of zeros after $1$ when writing the number.

Here, in ${10}^6$, the exponent is $6$, i.e., $6$ number of zeros we need to include after $1$ while writing ${10}^6$ in number form.

So, same as before, ${10}^6=1,000,000$.
