To divide two numbers in scientific notation, we first divide the coefficients and then subtract the exponents.
In this case, we have:
(4.496911993x10^9) / (2.8722791173x10^9)
Dividing the coefficients 4.496911993 / 2.8722791173 gives us 1.565.
Subtracting the exponents (10^9 / 10^9) gives us 10^(9-9) = 10^0 = 1.
So, the final result is 1.565x10^1, which can also be written as 15.65.
4.496911993 x 10^9 / 2.8722791173 x 10^9
