Scientific notation of a number is this form:

%22%D7%2210%5E%28a_+positive_or_negative_or_zero_integer_exponent%29

The only number that is 1 or greater but less than 10 that can be formed
with the digits 0.00627 is 6.27, and since the decimal of 6.27 must be
moved 3 places to the left to become the original number 0.00627, the
scientific notation is

 6.27 × 10-3
