Yes that's correct 1.68 BTC.

100,000,000 Satoshi = 1 BTC

Thanks dude! I wish there was a website to put that in and it gives you what it is so you don't make a mistake!

On the right hand side:

Subunit    
.001    mBTC (millicoin)
.000001    μBTC (microcoin)
.00000001    satoshi

You can use this website to convert:
https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=168000000*.00000001 (https://www.google.com/#safe=off&q=168000000*.00000001)
Just replace 168000000 with the number you want to convert

It's simple if you remember there are 100 satoshis in a microbit, then just add spaces every three zeros.

   168000000 sat
  1680000.00 uB
 1680.000 00 mB
1.680 000 00 XBT

1 680 000 00 satoshis
1.680 000 00 bitcoins

This would be even simpler if a satoshi was equal to a nanobit, but for some reason Satoshi picked eight decimal places. Maybe it has something to do with 8 being an exponent of 2 so the computer likes it better?

Just put this in your address bar and hit enter. Then you can add it to your bookmarks.
Code:
data:text/html,<title>Satoshi to BTC conversion</title><body>Satoshis:<input type="text" onchange="document.getElementsByTagName('input')[1].value=parseFloat(document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value.trim())/100000000"></input><br>BTC:<input type="text" onchange="document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value=parseFloat(document.getElementsByTagName('input')[1].value.trim())*100000000"></input>

On Chromium based browsers, you can triple-click in the above box, right-click, and select "Go to..."
