We use exponents to abbreviate numbers that are either too big or too tiny. For Example, 1,000,000,000 can be abbreviated as 109 or 1.0 x 109 and 0.000235 can be abbreviated as 2.35 x 10-4.
In real life exponents are used in measuring the memory of a computer. For example, 1GB (gigabyte) is equal to 109 bytes.
To get a solution of 1GB we calculate as follows;
1KB (kilobyte) = 1024 bytes
1MB (megabyte) = 1024 kilobytes
1GB (gigabyte) = 1024 Megabytes
Therefore, in terms of bytes 1GB= (1024 x 1024 x 1024) bytes
1GB = 1,073,741,824 =1.07 x 109
