Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(10^6 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 10^{-8}\), we can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, when multiplying exponential terms with the same base, we add their exponents:

\[
10^6 \cdot 10^2 \cdot 10^{-8} = 10^{6 + 2 - 8}
\]

Now, let's perform the calculations in the exponent:

\[
6 + 2 - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0
\]

So we have:

\[
10^{6 + 2 - 8} = 10^0
\]

We know that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1:

\[
10^0 = 1
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{1}
\]
