The equation to use is:
[H+] [OH-] = 10^-14
You have [OH-] = (4.15*10^-6)
Substitute into the equation and solve for [H+]
[H+] * (4.15*10^-6) = 10^-14
[H+] = 10^-14 / (4.15*10^-6)
[H+] = 2.41*10^-9M
[H+] [OH-] = 10^-14
You have [OH-] = (4.15*10^-6)
Substitute into the equation and solve for [H+]
[H+] * (4.15*10^-6) = 10^-14
[H+] = 10^-14 / (4.15*10^-6)
[H+] = 2.41*10^-9M

the product of the two is always 1 X 10^-14, so you would just divide
