You move the decimal point, untill you have just one non-zero in front of it.

Explanation:

You have to move 5 places , which means the exponent of the 10-power will be 5.
You move to the left , which means the power will be positive.

=6.34xx10^(5)

An other way would be to consider that:
=6.34xx100000=6.34xx10^(5)
