In order to convert a number into scientific notation, count the number of zeros that the number have.

Since the given is a decimal number, the exponent of the scientific notation will be negative.

Since there are 2 zeros, the first number that is not a zero must also be included, thus 3 will be used as the exponent. 

0.001429 = 1.429 x 10^-3
