You want to move the decimal point so that you have a number (greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10) multiplied by a power of ten.

  • So if the decimal is moved to the right you have negative powers of ten (small numbers).
  • If the decimal is moved to the left you have positive powers of ten (large numbers).

In this case, moving the decimal 5 places to the right gives you 6, so it is:

  • 6 x 10^-5 m {that means 10 raised to the -5 power}
