1. Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, we need to move the decimal point four places to the right: 3.32

2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal. We moved it four places.

3. Express the number as a product of the new number and 10 raised to the power of the number of places you moved the decimal. Since we moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative.

Therefore, 0.000332 in scientific notation is 3.32 x 10⁻⁴
