1 x 10^4 divided by 1 x 10^-2

1 answer

To divide \( 1 \times 10^4 \) by \( 1 \times 10^{-2} \), you can use the property of exponents that states \( \frac{10^a}{10^b} = 10^{a-b} \).

So, we have:

\[ \frac{1 \times 10^4}{1 \times 10^{-2}} = 10^{4 - (-2)} = 10^{4 + 2} = 10^6 \]

Thus, the result is:

\[ 1 \times 10^6 \]

or simply \( 10^6 \).
