To divide the numbers \( 1.92 \times 10^6 \) and \( 8.03 \times 10^{-8} \), you can follow these steps:
-
Divide the coefficients: Divide \( 1.92 \) by \( 8.03 \).
\[ \frac{1.92}{8.03} \approx 0.2390 \]
-
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:
\[ 10^{6} \div 10^{-8} = 10^{6 - (-8)} = 10^{6 + 8} = 10^{14} \]
-
Combine the results: Now, we combine the results from steps 1 and 2:
\[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} \]
-
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:
\[ 0.2390 \times 10^{14} = 2.390 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{14} \]
-
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:
\[ \boxed{2.390 \times 10^{13}} \]
