First of all, this is NOT an equation. There is no equal sign. It appears from your problem you are working with scientific notation, 2.56+%2A+10%5E9.

I'm not sure exactly what you wanted to do with it. What it means in standard decimal form is 2,560,000,000. You start with the decimal between the 2 and the 5, and you must move the decimal 9 places to the right, using place-holder zeros as needed.
