To find the missing number \( x \) in the equation \( 390x = 390.000 \), we first need to understand what \( 390.000 \) represents in terms of powers of ten.

The expression \( 390.000 \) can be interpreted as:

\[ 390.000 = 390 \times 10^0 \]

The equation then becomes:

\[ 390x = 390 \times 10^0 \]

To solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides by 390 (assuming \( 390 \neq 0 \)):

\[ x = 10^0 \]

Since \( 10^0 = 1 \), we find that:

\[ x = 1 \]

Now, regarding the powers of ten mentioned (10^2, 10^3, 10^4, 10^5), these are just other forms of expressing numbers but don't change the value of \( x \) in this context.

Thus, the missing number \( x \) is:

\[ \boxed{1} \]
