Yeah, you would get a much quicker answer in the math section, but luckily I can help since I know about scientific notation. I don't know the actual steps. Examples help me more than the actual steps:

Example:
$$0.0000000056 \times 10^{-9}$$

"the exponent of 10 is the number of places the decimal point must be shifted to give the number in long form. A positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the right. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left.

In scientific notation, the digit term indicates the number of significant figures in the number. The exponential term only places the decimal point."
