what is the smallest power of ten that exceeeds 118,652.56484
I'm not sure I understand the question. Here's my answer to what I think it's asking.
Start with the power of ten in the same order or magnitude.
Consider 105 = 100,000 ... that's smaller than 118,652.56484 so 105 does not exceed it
The next power of ten is 106 = 1,000,000 ... that's larger than 118,652.56484 so 106 does exceed it.
The answer to the question is 106
