Think of it as a "bouncing decimal"...each time the decimal bounces to the next number to the right, the exponent increases by -1...

0.6730 = 6.730 x 10^-1 (6.730 x 0.1)
0.06730 = 6.730 x 10^-2 (6.730 x 0.01)
0.006730 = 6.730 x 10^-3 (6.730 x 0.001)
0.0006730 = 6.730 x 10^-4 (6.730 x 0.0001) decimal bounces 4 places to the right
