Calculate 10^3: Converting Powers to Integer Form

Question

Write the following as an integer:

$10^3=$

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's use the power formula

00:06 Any number (X) to the power of (N)

00:09 equals X multiplied by itself N times

00:19 Let's use this formula in our exercise

00:25 Break down the power into multiplications

00:37 Calculate the multiplications

00:43 And this is the solution to the question

To solve the problem of finding $10^3$ , let us apply the rules of exponents:

Step 1: Recognize that $10^3$ means the base 10 is multiplied by itself three times.
Step 2: Write out this multiplication: $10 \times 10 \times 10$ .
Step 3: Calculate the result step by step.
First, calculate $10 \times 10 = 100$ .
Next, multiply the result by 10: $100 \times 10 = 1000$ .

Therefore, the expression $10^3$ evaluates to 1000.

Thus, the solution to this problem is $1000$ , which corresponds to choice 4.
