An online battle storage facility has 1.326×10^13 bites of storage available it has 2.6×10^4 customers how many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation expressed to the exact decimal place.

1 answer

To find the number of bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total number of bytes by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bytes / 2.6×10^4 customers

To divide the numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents of the powers of 10 and divide the coefficients:

1.326 / 2.6 = 0.51076923077 (approximately)

To combine the powers of 10, we subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend:

10^13 / 10^4 = 10^(13-4) = 10^9

Putting it all together, the number of bytes each customer can use is approximately 5.1076923077 × 10^9 bytes.
