Let us look at the expansion of 47561, which we already know:
47561 = 4 ×
We can express it using powers of 10 in the exponent form:
Therefore,
Note: 10,000 =
Let us expand another number:

104278 = 1 × 100,000 + 0 × 10,000 + 4 × 1000 + 2 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 8 × 1
= 1 ×
= 1 × 10
Notice how the exponents of 10 start from a maximum value of 5 and go on decreasing by 1 at a step from the left to the right upto 0.
