#3.14207xx10^5#

Explanation:

Standard form requires only one digit before the decimal.

So , you need to write #314207# as #3.143207#.

But as you see they are not equal.

So , as we have shifted the decimal to left by #5# places , we just need to multiply it by #10^5# to make them equal.

So , in standard form #314207# is written as #3.14207 xx 10^5#.
