You need to move the decimal to the left enough spaces so that your answer is between 1 and 10. 3586000 is a whole number, so think of it as 3586000.00. To put 3586000.00 into scientific notation, move the decimal to the left 6 places so that your new number is 3.586 (the zeros after the decimal don't matter). Ever time you move the decimal to the left, it's like dividing it the number by 10. So you would write your answer as 3.586 * 10^6 because you moved the decimal 6 places.
