Question

how many factors of 10 are in each power?
\frac{10^{6}}{10^{4}}
number of factors of 10 in $10^{6}$: ?
number of factors of 10 in $10^{4}$: ?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze $10^6$

$10^6 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10$, so it has 6 factors of 10.

Step2: Analyze $10^4$

$10^4 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10$, so it has 4 factors of 10.

Answer:

Number of factors of 10 in $10^6$: 6
Number of factors of 10 in $10^4$: 4
