well first off 200 thousand million should be written as 200 billion...

But anyway in standard form it is

2 * 10^11

200 thousand million is only 200 billion if you are in the United States. In the UK a billion is a million million.

200 thousand million is written numerically as 200,000,000,000 (unless you live in mainland Europe where it would be 200.000.000.000).

Standard form is where you write a number as an expression in its most basic form, so for example 200 would be written as 2 x 10^2 (2 x 10 squared).

Standard form is also known as Standard Index Form and Scientific Notation and can also be written using "E" notation where E is followed by the powers of 10 to multiply by. For example:

200,000,000,000 = 2 x 10^11 = 2E+11

If the number was less than 1 then the powers would be negative. For example:

0.002 = 2 x 10^-3 = 2E-3

200 thousand million pounds .

1 million = 1,000,000 = 10^6

thousand = 1,000 = 10^3

200 = 2 (10)^2

200 thousand million pounds = 2(10)^ multiplied by 10^3 multiplied by 10^6 =

2 (10) ^ (2 +3 + 6) = 2 (10)^11 pounds

200,000,000,000 = Two hundred thousand million

In standard form = 2 x 10^11

The first part can only be 1 to 9. The rest is the number of noughts to take you back to 2.

It makes it easier to illustrate large numbers when they are too big to be displayed on a calculator.

On Calculator = 2 x 10^11 (10 raised to the power of 11)

To put it on the calculator type in "2" then "EXP" then "11"

200 thousand = 200,000 = 2 x10^5
1 million = 1,000,000 = 10^6
200,000 million = 2X10^5 X 10^6 = 2X10^11
= 200,000,000,000 = 200 billion

200 thousand million is 200 times one thousand times one million=200*1,000*1,000,000=200,000,000,000
the total number of zeros is 11 so
200,000,000,000=2*10^11

2 x 10 ^11 pounds I think.

^ means raised to the power of by the way.
