Due to the large magnitudes, you may have trouble entering the numbers into your calculator. Also, doing the multiplication first may cause overflow.
Assuming you can enter the numbers as-is, divide the large values first, then multiply by the smaller number.
Or, you may just want to use scientific notation:
8500000 * 70.70 / 884452900
= 8.5*10^6 * 7.07*10^1 / 8.844*10^8
= 6.795*10^-1
= .6795
Use as many significant digits as you feel useful.
