To find out how many households a power station can serve, you need to divide the total power generated by the power station by the power used by each household.
(2.496x10^10 kWh/year) ÷ (1.04x10^4 kWh/year/household) = 24x10^5 households.
So, the power station can serve 2.4x10^6 households per year.
