Step 1: Write both numbers in scientific notation. For more information, use the SN Converter.
$$ 6.1E-5 = 6.1E-5 $$$$ 1 = 1 $$Step 2: Multiply the numeric parts. Note that in intermediate calculations, we need 6 significant digits.
$$ 6.0E-50 \cdot 1 \approx 6.0E-50 $$Step 3: Multiply $10^{ 0 }$ by $10^{ 0 }$:
$$ 10^{ 0 } \cdot 10^{ 0 } = 10^{ 0+0 } = 10^{ 0 } = 1 $$Step 4: Write the solution as the product of the numbers obtained in steps two and three.
$$ 6.0E-50 \cdot 1 = 6.0E-50 $$Step 5: Number 6.0E-50 smaller than 10.
To fix this, we need to move the decimal point one place to the right and subtract 1 from the exponent.
