Great question! You don't need to. That's exactly what

negative exponents are for.

If you need 1/106 , then just write 10-6 .

Example:

Write the number 0.0007 in scientific notation.

0.0007 is seven ten-thousandths . . . 7/10,000

10,000 is 104 , so one way to write the number is

7/104 .

But it's much easier, and it looks a lot better, to write

7 x 10-4 .
