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 \( 10^6 \).
