Actually, the factor mentioned was 1 to the eighth power. I just mentioned this slip up in the math class I teach. The math on Star Trek classic is notoriously bad. But the math on TNG was graduate level quality.

I'm assuming that the writers thought that "1 to the 10th" sounded better than just saying "1". Also, I think I remember him saying "1 to the 4th". I'm not sure though.
