Hi Britt,

You have to end up with just 1 digit in front of the decimal point so that will be 5.26923076923

So you have to 'jump' the decimal point over 8 digits to get it to its new position.

Your original number is a really big one - so the power (indice) will be positive

hence 5.26923076923 x 10 8
