5.25x10^5 + 6.37x10^6
If it was 5.25x10^5 TIMES 6.37x10^6 I could rearrange it to;
5.25x6.37x10^5x10^6
And then add the powers;
5.25x6.37x10^5+^6
To give;
33.4425x10^11=3.34425x10^12
But it’s PLUS not TIMES
Can we manipulate the powers when it’s PLUS?
Or (ignoring using a calculator) do we have to do it the long way;
5.25x10^5=525,000
6.37x10^6=6,370,000
And then add the two.

Cant we add like:
525*10^3+637*10^4
10^3(525+6370)
10^3*6895
6.895*10^6
Or simply take 10^6 common if youre comfortable with decimals. It's the easiest I can do.
