#4.28 * 10^-7#

Explanation:

Remember that scientific notation is a way to express small or big numbers in an easier way.

In scientific notation numbers have two parts:

The number itself #xx 10# to the power of some number.

The power of #10# can be figured out by thinking how many places do you need to move the decimal place of the original number?
