I know that you do 6.83783 * 10^3 as 6.83783E3, but how do I do that number times 10 to the negative third?

You would write it as 6.83783E-3

Or you could think of it in a few other ways. For example

1 * 10 ^ -1 is the same as 1/10^1 or 1/10. It is also equivalent to moving the decimal place back a few spots.

Thanks. I have solved the problem.
