To divide the numbers in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:
1. Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front).
2. Subtract the exponents of the powers of ten.
Given \( \frac{3.2 \times 10^4}{2.56 \times 10^{-2}} \):
1. Divide the coefficients:
\[
\frac{3.2}{2.56} = 1.25
\]
2. Subtract the exponents:
\[
4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6
\]
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
\frac{3.2 \times 10^4}{2.56 \times 10^{-2}} = 1.25 \times 10^6
\]
So the final answer is:
\[
1.25 \times 10^6
\]
