Value of uF

Hi could anyone please tell me the value off 22uF to input in a calculator?
I need to multiply R=10KΩ and C=22µF and not too sure the value of the microfarad, and how to input this in calculator.
Thanks

uF = microfarads, e.g. units of 10^-6 F, so 22uF = 22x10^-6 or 2.2x10-5 Farads.

If you are doing Physics, memorise the meaning of milli, micro, nano, pico etc for 3-decade changes in magnitude getting smaller and smaller. Similar for kilo, mega, giga for "bigger" things.

Thank you i wrote as 2.2^-5 so would be wrong Thanks again.

22^-6 is the same as 2.2^-5 BTW.
