0.00000604 = 6.04 × 10 ⁻⁶

Numbers in scientific notation get written in the form 1.23... × 10ⁿ, so it's a matter of counting how many times you multiply or divide by 10 in order to move the decimal point to the right position.

The number 0.00000604 has 3 significant digits, so you want to end up with 6.04, and to do that you need to move the decimal point 6 places to the right:

0.00000604

= 0.0000604 × 10 ⁻¹

= 0.000604 × 10 ⁻²

= 0.00604 × 10 ⁻³

= 0.0604 × 10 ⁻⁴

= 0.604 × 10 ⁻⁵

= 6.04 × 10 ⁻⁶
