step by step how to divide Scientific notations

Answer 1

1. Write down the two numbers in scientific notation that you want to divide. For example, let's divide 6.2 x 10^3 by 2.5 x 10^2.

2. Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front of the "x 10^" part). In our example, 6.2 divided by 2.5 equals 2.48.

3. Subtract the exponents of the numbers. In our example, the exponents are 3 and 2. Subtracting 2 from 3 gives us 1.

4. Write your answer in scientific notation with the new coefficient and exponent. In our example, the answer is 2.48 x 10^1 or 24.8.

So, 6.2 x 10^3 divided by 2.5 x 10^2 equals 24.8.
