1. Move the decimal point: Start by moving the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, you'll move it 7 places to the right:

0.000000528 -> 5.28

2. Count the moves: You moved the decimal point 7 places to the right. This means you are multiplying by 10 to the power of -7.

3. Write the result: The scientific notation is 5.28 x 10^-7
