.

Your number 20,700  is the same as  20700.0.


Notice the decimal dot (.) inside my presentation of this number.



To divide by  {{10^6}}},  you should move this decimal point 6 (six) units to the left, filling the positions by 0 (by zero), if required.



Doing this way, you will get  20700.0 :  = 0.020700.

Solved.
