All you have to do is move the decimal point over 6 places in the direction that will make the number smaller! (because the index is negative)
You will need to put a whole heap of zeros in like this

00000000008.37
I put in too many zeros but you can get rid of the ones you don't want later.
Now jump that decimal point over each digit, one at a time, until you have jumped over 6 digits altogether.
That will be your answer.
Just leave one zero in front of the point so that you can read it easily, you don't need or want any more than one zero in front of the point.
you finish this question and I will tell you if you got it right.
