To find the number of bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total number of bytes available by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bits ÷ 2.6×10^4 customers
To divide the numbers with the same base (10), we subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend and divide the coefficients.
(1.326 ÷ 2.6) × 10^(13-4)
Evaluate the division:
0.5092307692307692 × 10^9
We can express this answer in scientific notation:
5.092307692307692 × 10^8 bytes.
An online data storage facility has 1.326×10^13 bites of storage available it has 2.6×10^4 customers how many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation expressed to the exact decimal place.
