To divide the numbers in scientific notation \((9 \times 10^3)\) by \((8 \times 10^6)\), you can follow these steps:
-
Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{9}{8} = 1.125 \]
-
Subtract the exponents: \[ 10^{3 - 6} = 10^{-3} \]
-
Combine the results: \[ 1.125 \times 10^{-3} \]
Putting it all together, the result of \((9 \times 10^3) \div (8 \times 10^6)\) in scientific notation is: \[ 1.125 \times 10^{-3} \]
