Answer 2

The required standard form is: 12580000000000.

Explanation:

Consider the provided number.

`1.258 * 10^(13)`

In the provided number 10 raised to the power is 13.

The provided number is written in the scientific form. We need to convert the number into standard form.

To convert a number into standard form from scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right.

Here, the power of 10 is 13. So move the decimal place to the right by 13 digit.

Hence, the required standard form is: 12580000000000.
