Power of 10 [10^n]

Today we are talking about the lesson of powers of 10.

You can see such as 21.6k and 1.3M on the social medias.

you see all the time on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube etc..

If it is 21k on facebook, it means 21?  🤔🤔

Nooooo 👋😤


But lot of people think so … oh 😜

Simply explain,

k (kilo) = thousand = 1,000 = 10 ^ 3
M (Mega) = Million = 1,000,000 = 10 ^ 6

As above theories, 21.6k means 21,600 reactions.

1.3M Views means 1,300,000 views.

“Let’s see how it goes.”

21.6K = 21.6 x 10 ^ 3 = 21.6 x 1,000 = 21,600

1.3M = 1.3 x 10 ^ 6 = 1.3 x 1,000,000 = 1,300,000

Now see below example to clear more…
