+%286.2+%2A+10%5E11%29+%2F+%288+%2A+10%5E%28-3%29%29+
+%286.2%2F8%29%2A%2810%5E11%2F10%5E%28-3%29%29+
+.775+%2A+10%5E11+%2A+10%5E3+
+.775%2A10%5E14+
+7.75%2A10%5E13+
Notice in this last step, I multiplied the 1st factor
by 10 and divided the 2nd factor by 10,
so +10%2F10+ does not change it's value.
