Answer 1

To divide these numbers written in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

First, let's divide the coefficients:

1.4959787069 / 1.4271636864 = 1.04746695923

Now, let's subtract the exponents:

10^8 / 10^9 = 10^(8-9) = 10^(-1) = 0.1

Putting it all together, we have:

(1.4959787069 x 10^8) / (1.4271636864 x 10^9) = 1.04746695923 x 0.1

Therefore, the final answer is:

1.04746695923 x 0.1 = 0.104746695923
