When I was asked to put 'What is four thousand eight hundred two in standard form?' I then wrote 4.802*10^4.

When the solution actually was asking for the value in a numerical format 4802.

Just thought I'd point out the difference. But, I'm in the UK so I'm not sure if there are small differences in terminology :)
