Step 1: First, we will convert the number 10 to scientific notation. After that, we will multiply the result by 10^-12.

Step 2: Since 10 do not have a decimal point, we will add one at the end of the number 10.

10.

Step 3: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).

1.0.

Step 4: We moved the decimal point 1 spaces to the right. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be positive 1.Now we know that the:

Mantissa = 1.0 (which can be written as 1 )

Exponent = 1

So, the solution is:

$$10 = \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ 1 }}$$

Step 5: Now we need to multiply the above result by $10^{ -12 }$.

$$ 1 \cdot 10^{ 1 } \cdot 10^{ -12 } = 1 \cdot 10^{ 1-12 } = 1 \cdot 10^{ -11 } $$
