To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you need to multiply the coefficients (numbers in front) and add the exponents of the powers of 10.
Using the given numbers:
1.95 × 10^6 x 8.03 × 10^-8
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients: 1.95 x 8.03 = 15.6385
Step 2: Add the exponents: 10^6 x 10^-8 = 10^(6-8) = 10^-2
Final result: 15.6385 x 10^-2 (or written in scientific notation: 1.56385 x 10^-1)
1.95x10^6 x 8.03x10^-8
