Description
Students notice that multiplying by 1,000 is the same as multiplying by 10 × 10 × 10. Since each factor of 10 shifts the digits one place to the left, multiplying by 10 × 10 × 10—which can be recorded in exponential form as 103 —shifts the position of the digits to the left 3 places, thus changing the digits’ relationships to the decimal point.
