$6.92 \times 10^{- 3} = 0.00692$ $6.92 xx 10^-3 = 0.00692$

When presented with an exponent of the form $10^{- n}$ $10^-n$ , to get the standard form, shift the mantissa to the right $n$ $n$ places.

$6.92 \times 10^{- 3} = \frac{6.92}{10^{3}} = \frac{6.92}{1000} = 0.00692$ $6.92 xx 10^-3 = 6.92 / 10^3 = 6.92 / 1000 = 0.00692$

Shifting to the right by $3$ $3$ places is the same as dividing by $1000$ $1000$ .
