I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct it.

\( \frac{4.4 \times 10^{-2}}{1.3 \times 10^{-5}} \)

To divide these numbers in scientific notation, we need to divide the coefficients (4.4 by 1.3) and subtract the exponents of 10 (10^-2 by 10^-5):

\( 4.4 \div 1.3 = 3.384615385 \approx 3.38 \)

\( 10^{-2} \div 10^{-5} = 10^{-2-(-5)} = 10^3 = 1000 \)

Therefore, the result in scientific notation is:

\( 3.38 \times 10^3 \)
