How do you read out numbers in scientific notation in Japanese?


For example, "5 * 10^80" would be said as "5 times 10 to the power of 80" in
English. When translating to Japanese, would I translate all of these
operations literally or is there a more widely used idiom like "5 followed by
80 zeroes".




> 5 * 10^80

I think it's read 「ごかけるじゅうのはちじゅうじょう」.

5×10⁸⁰ -- [5]{ご} [×]{かける} [10]{じゅう} の [⁸⁰]{はちじゅうじょう} （5[掛]{か}ける10の80[乗]{じょう}）
