$4.1 \cdot 10^{- 2} - 2.6 \cdot 10^{- 3}$

Step 1

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the $10$ . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

$3.84 \times 10^{- 2}$
