Try out the following by using format:

number = 1
result = number/1000000
print('{0:.6f}'.format(result))

Output:

0.000001

Why not just `{:f}`? – Olvin Roght May 23 '20 at 18:51
Could also use an f-string... `print(f'{result:.6f}')` – Jon Clements May 23 '20 at 18:53
@OlvinRoght, this is also possible. But maybe this helps the OP to see how to use the formatting feature of format with decimal number. – Code Pope May 23 '20 at 18:54
Just wanting to add, and this may be dependent on Python version, but `number` and `1000000` need to be declared as `float` on 2.7 for this to work. – Anna Nevison May 23 '20 at 18:56

output = f"{num:.9f}"

you can replace 9 with the amount of numbers you have after the decimal point in your number.

and also you will need to define your variable to float to order it will work.
