Practice makes perfect
We want to round the given decimal number and write the result as the product of a single digit and a power of 10. 0.000000647 Let's start by rounding the given number to the nearest 0.000000 1. Since the digit in the hundred-millionths place is less than 5, we will not modify the digit in the ${\color{#A800DD}{\text{ten-}}} {\color{#A800DD}{\text{millionths}}} {\color{#A800DD}{\text{place}}}.'"`UNIQ--MLMath-4-QINU`"' Finally, we will write the above number as the product of a single digit and a power of10.To do so, let's first factor out6.$
