The other tutor's answer is wrong. He thought you were
studying logarithms and exponentials. If you had said
"scientific notation" instead of " powers of ten form",
he would have known what you meant. Here is how it's
done. I'll do an example below:

Here's an example like yours:
4907
We start off with the 4

We have 4

We put a decimal after the 4.

Now we have 4.

We put the rest of the digits after the decimal

Now we have 4.907

We put � next.

Now we have 4.907 �

We put 10 next

Now we have 4.907 � 10

Next we compare 4.907 to the original number 4907 and see
that the decimal in 4.907 has to move 3 places to the right
so that it will go back to 4907 with an invisible decimal
at the end. So we put the exponent 3 to the right and above the 10:

Now we have the final answer: 4907 = 4.907 � 10³.
