3 answers

To divide the numbers \( 1.92 \times 10^6 \) and \( 8.03 \times 10^{-8} \), you can follow these steps:

  1. Divide the coefficients: Divide \( 1.92 \) by \( 8.03 \).

    \[ \frac{1.92}{8.03} \approx 0.2390 \]

  2. Subtract the exponents: When dividing numbers in scientific notation, you subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator. So, we calculate:

    \[ 10^{6} \div 10^{-8} = 10^{6 - (-8)} = 10^{6 + 8} = 10^{14} \]

  3. Combine the results: Now, we combine the results from steps 1 and 2:

    \[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} \]

  4. Adjust into proper scientific notation: Scientific notation requires that the coefficient be between 1 and 10. Therefore, we need to convert \( 0.2390 \) into proper scientific notation:

    \[ 0.2390 = 2.390 \times 10^{-1} \]

    Thus, we have:

    \[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} = 2.390 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{14} \]

  5. Combine the exponents:

    \[ 2.390 \times 10^{14 - 1} = 2.390 \times 10^{13} \]

So, the final result of dividing \( 1.92 \times 10^6 \) by \( 8.03 \times 10^{-8} \) is:

\[ \boxed{2.390 \times 10^{13}} \]

i get 0.24283935242 instead of approx 0.2390

Let’s carefully redo the calculation and make sure we get the correct quotient for \( \frac{1.92}{8.03} \).

Step 1: Divide the Coefficients

We start with:

\[ \frac{1.92}{8.03} \]

Doing the division:

\[ 1.92 \div 8.03 \approx 0.2390 \quad \text{(previous approximation)} \]

Calculating it accurately, we can compute:

\[ 1.92 \div 8.03 \approx 0.2390 \]

However, let's check this again for clarity:

Using a calculator:

\[ 1.92 \div 8.03 \approx 0.2390 \]

Step 2: Subtract the Exponents

We already have:

\[ 10^{6} \div 10^{-8} = 10^{6 - (-8)} = 10^{6 + 8} = 10^{14} \]

Step 3: Combine the Results

From above, we multiply the results of the coefficient division and exponent subtraction:

\[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} \]

Step 4: Adjust into Proper Scientific Notation

To convert \( 0.2390 \) into scientific notation, we have:

\[ 0.2390 = 2.390 \times 10^{-1} \]

Step 5: Combine the Exponents

So we have:

\[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} = 2.390 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{14} \]

This gives:

\[ 2.390 \times 10^{14 - 1} = 2.390 \times 10^{13} \]

Result

So the correct final result is:

\[ \boxed{2.390 \times 10^{13}} \]

If you received \( 0.24283935242 \), that would indicate a possible calculation error during the coefficient division step. However, if you perform \( 1.92 \div 8.03 \) accurately, you should get approximately \( 0.2390\), not 0.24283935242.

Conclusion

The correct calculation should lead to \( 2.390 \times 10^{13} \). If you continue to get different values, please double-check the values you are using for the coefficients.
