While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

that number is really small, not really large

you know hwat E-7 means?

[real cave]

E-7 means *10^-7

[forest flint]

use .toPlainString()

[real cave]

"%.7f".formatted(theBigDecimal)
or
String.format("%.7f", theBigDecimal)

[forest flint]

jshell> b.round(new MathContext(7, RoundingMode.FLOOR)).toPlainString()
$13 ==> "0.00000000001234567"

jshell> b.round(new MathContext(3, RoundingMode.FLOOR)).toPlainString()
$14 ==> "0.0000000000123"

[real cave]

or
System.out.printf("%.7f", theBigDecimal)
if you want to directly print it @pale drift

[forest flint]

I would do the .round since you get a bit more control + I'd be scared there was some conversion to double happening with %.7f

[real cave]

ah and what I gave was if you want to round 7 places after the dot @pale drift
