This tip can save you a lot of time: Ten to any power is simply the number 1 followed by a number of zeros indicated by the exponent. An example is shown below.
105
100,000
Note that the result is a one followed by five zeros because the exponent on 10 was 5.
In general, a problem such as
510
is read as "Five to the tenth power."
Certain exponents have special ways of being pronounced. These make it a little easier to say, but it is not necessary that you use them.
