Question

4.82 x 10^12 3.2 x 10^4
Multiply the numbers above

Answer 1

To multiply the numbers \( 4.82 \times 10^{12} \) and \( 3.2 \times 10^{4} \), you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the coefficients:
\[
4.82 \times 3.2 = 15.424
\]

2. Add the exponents of 10:
\[
10^{12} \times 10^{4} = 10^{(12 + 4)} = 10^{16}
\]

3. Now combine the results:
\[
15.424 \times 10^{16}
\]

Finally, you can express it in scientific notation. In this case, since \( 15.424 \) is greater than 10, we adjust it:
\[
15.424 = 1.5424 \times 10^1
\]
Thus, the expression becomes:
\[
1.5424 \times 10^1 \times 10^{16} = 1.5424 \times 10^{17}
\]

So, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{1.5424 \times 10^{17}}
\]
