Since 0.0000012 is less than 1, move the decimal point to the right until you get a number that is greater than or equal to 1. The number you end up with is 1.2 in this case and the number of places you had to move the decimal point, with a negative in front, is b ( -6 in this case ) 1.2 x 10-6 http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/scinot.html
