6*5 = 30.

10^3*10^5 = 10^(3+5) = 10^8.

30*10^8.

Since the given numbers have a significant figure in each (6, 5), its product has two significant figures after multiplication.

= 6*10^3*5*10^5 = 30*10^8.

6*5 = 30.

10 is common for both the values,

Powers are added.

10^3+5 = 10^8.

Total value = 30*10^8.

When we are multiplying of these numbers the powers of those numbers are added.

(a^m)*(a^n)=a^(m+n)
[p*(a^m)]*[q*(a^n)]=(p*q)*[a^(m+n)]

Therefore (6 x 10^3)*(5 x 10^5)=(6*5)*10^(3+5)
=30*10^8

Thank you for easy understandable explanation.

Simply, the numbers 6 and 5 normal multiplication (6*5=30).

In power the numbers has been added (3+5=8).

If the numbers are mulitiplied the exponents are added.

Thanks for discussion.
