1.4335 x 10^9 / 1.496 X 10^8 = ?

this is scientific notation

3 answers

To perform this calculation, you would multiply the two numbers and then divide the exponents:

(1.4335 x 10^9) / (1.496 x 10^8) = 9.58268

Then, you would subtract the exponents:

10^9 / 10^8 = 10^(9-8) = 10

Therefore, the result is:

9.58268 x 10^10
i dont get it
I apologize for the confusion. Let's go through the calculation step by step.

To divide numbers in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

1.4335 x 10^9 / 1.496 x 10^8

First, divide the coefficients:
1.4335 / 1.496 = 0.958

Then, subtract the exponents:
10^9 / 10^8 = 10^(9-8) = 10^1 = 10

The final result is 0.958 x 10^10.
