You move the decimal point one to the left and up the 10-power by 1.

Explanation:

Scientific notation means you want one non-zero digit in front of the DP. Moving the DP one to the left means the first part gets smaller by a factor #10# and you have to compensate, or:

#=(1.2044xx10)xx10^23=1.2044xx10^24#
