Numberock - The Powers of Ten: An Intro to Exponents Song Lyrics

The base number is ten
Two is the exponent
Ten to the second means ten times ten
This power of ten is one hundred
Again the base number is ten
But now three is the exponent
It equals ten times ten times ten
The third power of ten is one thousand
To find the power of ten look at the exponent
Take your pencil and write that many zeros
Let's do it again to find the power of ten
Look at the exponent
Take your pencil and multiply that many tens
Yeah, yeah
Oh, the base number is ten
Four is the exponent
It's ten times ten times ten times ten
The fourth power of ten is ten thousand
Again the base number is ten
Five is the exponent
Write five tens and multiply them
And you will get one hundred thousand
To find the power of ten, look at the exponent
Take your pencil and write that many zeros
Let's do it again to find the power of ten
Look at the exponent
Take your pencil and multiply that many tens
With the power of ten we can multiply or divide
Dividing slice left, multiplying slice right
The power is the number of places
Slide the point, that number of spaces
One hundred five and nine thousands times ten to the third
The three represents the decimal point
Sliding right three times, the product's one hundred five thousand nine
Now let's divide by ten to the third
Slide three places left for in other words, this number is now one thousand times less
Powers of ten are the best
Using powers of ten is the norm when writing numbers in expanded form
Split the values apart bit by bit to see the value of every digit
Come on
I like this
To find the power of ten, look at the exponent
Take your pencil and then write that many zeros
Let's do it again to find the power of ten
Look at the exponent
Take your pencil and then multiply that many tens
