To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you can multiply the coefficients and add the exponents.
So for \( (3 \times 10^{-6}) \times (1 \times 10^{16}) \):
1. Multiply the coefficients:
\( 3 \times 1 = 3 \)
2. Add the exponents:
\( -6 + 16 = 10 \)
Putting it together, you get:
\[
(3 \times 10^{-6}) \times (1 \times 10^{16}) = 3 \times 10^{10}
\]
Thus, the result is \( 3 \times 10^{10} \).
