To solve this problem, we need to divide the total energy generated by the power station by the energy consumption of each household.
Total energy generated by the power station = 2.496×10^10 kWh
Energy consumption per household = 1.04×10^4 kWh
Number of households = Total energy generated / Energy consumption per household
Number of households = (2.496×10^10 kWh) / (1.04×10^4 kWh)
Number of households = (2.496/1.04) × (10^10/10^4)
Number of households = 2.4 × 10^6
Hence, the power station can serve approximately 2.4 × 10^6 households.
