You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Positive powers of ten move the decimal point to the right.
i.e.3.12X%2810%29%5E3=3120, the point has moved 3 places right.
Negative powers of 10 move the decimal point to the left.
i.e.2.5X%2810%29%5E-2=0.025, point has moved 2 places left
So in your problem
5.4X%2810%29%5E-4=0.00054 and 6X%2810%29%5E-7=0.0000006
