Orders of magnitude are written in powers of 10. Differences in order of magnitude can be measured on the logarithmic scale in "decades" (i.e., factors of ten). The order of magnitude of a number is, intuitively speaking, the number of powers of 10 contained in the number.

Order of magnitude is the power of 10 that is in the given number. That is equal to the number of digits - 1.
5 = 5.0 * 10⁰ order = 0
25 = 2.5 * 10¹ order = 1
343454 = 3.43454 * 10⁵ order = 5
5 = 5.0 * 10⁰ order = 0
25 = 2.5 * 10¹ order = 1
343454 = 3.43454 * 10⁵ order = 5
