Answer 1

To convert \( 8.0724 \times 10^{-12} \) centimeters to kilometers, we use the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is equal to 100,000 centimeters.

1 kilometer = \( 10^5 \) centimeters.

To convert centimeters to kilometers, we divide the value in centimeters by \( 10^5 \):

\[ \text{kilometers} = \frac{8.0724 \times 10^{-12} \text{ cm}}{10^5 \text{ cm/km}} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \text{kilometers} = 8.0724 \times 10^{-12} \div 10^5 = 8.0724 \times 10^{-12 - 5} = 8.0724 \times 10^{-17} \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{8.0724 \times 10^{-17}} \text{ kilometers} \]
