The goal of writing a number in scientific notation is to have a decimal number, with one digit to the left of the decimal point, followed by a <span>×⨯</span><span>1010</span> to some power. To format the number this way, multiply the <span>0.00000910.0000091</span> by <span>1010</span> <span><span>−6</span><span>-6</span></span> times, making it <span>9.19.1</span>. Each multiplication by <span>1010</span> moves the decimal point one digit to the left, but in order to keep the same number, multiply <span>9.19.1</span> by <span><span>10<span>−6</span></span><span>10<span>-6</span></span></span>.<span>9.1×<span>10<span>−<span>6</span></span></span></span>
