A digital counter shows 10^6. Each second it is multiplied by 10, then 10 minutes later the display is divided by 10^3. Ignoring the in-between values, if multiplication by 10 happened 4 times in total, what is the final reading? Give it as a power of 10.

Question

Accepted Answer

10^7. Start 10^6, multiply by 10 four times: 10^(6+4) = 10^10. Then divide by 10^3: 10^(10-3) = 10^7.

A digital counter shows $1 0^{6}$ . Each second it is multiplied by 10, then 10 minutes later the display is divided by $1 0^{3}$ .
