Move the decimal point until it is after the first non-zero digit. 

This will require that you move it 5 places to the left; each time you move it one place to the left, you are multiplying by 10. In this case, you are multiplying by 10^5.

490000.0001 = 4.900000001 x 10^5

Keep each of the zero digits that are between the 9 and the 1.
