Ten to the fifteenth power, written as 1015, is a mathematical expression that represents the number 10 multiplied by itself 15 times. This results in the number 1,000,000,000,000,000, which is also known as one quadrillion.
Here’s a breakdown of how this works:
- 101 = 10
- 102 = 100
- 103 = 1,000
- 104 = 10,000
- 105 = 100,000
- 106 = 1,000,000
- 107 = 10,000,000
- 108 = 100,000,000
- 109 = 1,000,000,000
- 1010 = 10,000,000,000
- 1011 = 100,000,000,000
- 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000
- 1013 = 10,000,000,000,000
- 1014 = 100,000,000,000,000
- 1015 = 1,000,000,000,000,000
As you can see, each time the exponent increases by one, the number of zeros in the result increases by one. This pattern continues indefinitely, making it easy to calculate large powers of ten.
