For example, 10 3 = 1000 and 10 −4 = 0.0001. Exponentiation with base 10 is used in scientific notation to denote large or small numbers. For instance, 299 792 458 m/s (the speed of light in vacuum, in metres per second ) can be written as 2.997 924 58 × 10 8 m/s and then approximated as 2.998 × 10 8 m/s .
