$8.935 \cdot 10^{- 5}$ $8.935 * 10^-5$

Explanation:

Write out the powers of ten until you get to the number of $0$ $0$ 's you need. You can do this in your head after a while.

$1 = 10^{0}$ $1 = 10^0$
$.1 = 10^{- 1}$ $.1 = 10^-1$
$.01 = 10^{- 2}$ $.01 = 10^-2$
$.001 = 10^{- 3}$ $.001 = 10^-3$
$.0001 = 10^{- 4}$ $.0001 = 10^-4$
$.00001 = 10^{- 5}$ $.00001 = 10^-5$

Now multiply a power of ten by a number between 1 and 10 to give you the number in the question.

$8.935 \cdot .00001 = .00008935$ $8.935 * .00001 = .00008935$
$therefore .00008935 = 8.935 * 10^-5$
