It will be easier for you to see if you first write it as a rational number, then as a decimal number.

Explanation:

#10^-6# means we take #6th# power of #10#, then take the reciprocal of it.

#6th# power of #10# is #1000000#, and reciprocal of it is #1/1000000#

If we write it as a decimal number, the answer would be #0,000001#
