To divide \( 3.3 \times 10^4 \) by \( 5.5 \times 10^7 \), you can follow these steps:
-
Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front): \[ \frac{3.3}{5.5} = 0.6 \]
-
Subtract the exponents when dividing powers of ten: \[ 10^{4 - 7} = 10^{-3} \]
-
Combine the results: \[ 0.6 \times 10^{-3} \]
-
It may be useful to express it in standard scientific notation: \[ 0.6 \times 10^{-3} = 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \]
Thus, the answer is: \[ 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \]
