For scientific notation, you want the decimal point after the first digit. In this case you'll have to move the decimal point 10 places, so   3.6453 x 10^10.

Each time you move the decimal point one place you are either multiplying or dividing by 10, depending upon the direction that you're moving the decimal point.
