2.7×10^5/3.2×10^7 all the steps to it

1 answer

To divide these two numbers in scientific notation, you will first divide the numbers that are not in scientific notation, then subtract the exponents.

1. Begin by dividing the numbers without the exponents:
2.7 / 3.2 = 0.84375

2. Next, subtract the exponents:
5 - 7 = -2

3. Rewrite the result in scientific notation:
0.84375 x 10^-2

Therefore, 2.7×10^5 divided by 3.2×10^7 is equal to 0.84375 x 10^-2.
