Step 1: Write both numbers in scientific notation. For more information, use the SN Converter.
$$ 5 = 5 $$$$ 1 = 1 $$Step 2: Multiply the numeric parts.
$$ 5 \cdot 1 \approx 5 $$Step 3: Multiply $10^{ 0 }$ by $10^{ 0 }$:
$$ 10^{ 0 } \cdot 10^{ 0 } = 10^{ 0+0 } = 10^{ 0 } = 1 $$Step 4: Write the solution as the product of the numbers obtained in steps two and three.
$$ 5 \cdot 1 = 5 $$
