multiply the numbers
if multiplying, add exponents
if dividing, subtract exponents.

For example

4*10^2 * 3*10^3 = 12*10^5
but, to keep it in scientific notation, the number cannot be 10 or more, so
12*10^5 = 1.2*10^6

For the last problem, you want pop/km^2, so divide

2.52•10^7 by 4.05•10^5 = (2.52/4.05)*10^(7-2) = ...
