0.000665 = 6.65xx10^(-4)

Explanation:

color(blue)("Principle used")

Consider the number 2. If you multiply by 1 you do not change its value. However, 1 comes in many forms. So you can change the way it looks without changing its true value

color(green)([2color(red)(xx1)] -=[2color(red)(xx10/10)] =[20xx1/10]

But 1/10 is the same as 10^(-1)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
0.000665 -> 0.0065xx1/10
0.000665 -> 0.065xx1/10xx1/10
0.000665 -> 0.65xx1/10xx1/10xx1/10
0.000665 -> 6.5xx1/10xx1/10xx1/10xx1/10

but 1/10xx1/10xx1/10xx1/10 = 1/(10^4) = 10^(-4)

So 0.000665 = 6.65xx10^(-4)
