I may need stronger glasses; however, isn't the number you put up there 1 septillion (as in million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, duodecillion, tredecillion and my all time favorite--Quattrodecillion and etc, etc)? In any event, I would just do it old school and start striking out 3 zero's at a time. Thus, after getting rid of 2 sets of 3 zeros from 8 million leaves you with 8. Getting rid of the equivalent 2 sets of 3 zeros from the other number leave you with 6 sets of 3 zeros with the '1' in front of them which should be 1 quintillion (or 1 quadrillion if you really wanted to start with 1 sextillion). Still too many freakin zeros so then I guess I would start taking away 3 sets of zeros with the first set giving you 0.008 and either 1 quadrillion or 1 trillion--still too many zeros so I'm going to live dangerously and take away 2 more sets (i.e., 6 total zeros) just to get this over with. Now your down to 0.000000008 and either just 1 billion or 1 million. Now your down to something you can at least input into your calculator, but if it doesn't have scientific notation you still won't have your answer and buy a better calculator. I was able to get an answer on my IPhone if I held it hortizonally and because it will answer using scientific notation. So, if it is the number you typed in (1 septillion), the answer I got was 1.25 x 1017 (that 17 is supposed to be a superscript) or 125,000,000,000,000,000 a/k/a 125 quadrillion.
