The first digit must be from 1 to 9 folowed by a decimal point:-

1,200,000 = 1.2*106 which means that the decimal point must be moved 6 places to the right to get back where you started from

0.0000092 = 9.2*10-6 which means that the decimal point must be moved 6 places to the left top get back where you started from
